Halil Amir Pushing For Featherweight Contendership At ONE Fight Night 22

On Friday, May 3, ONE Championship is back with another fun evening on Prime Video. ONE Fight Night 22 hits U.S. primetime from Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, with 11 exceptional bouts. And the co-main event will feature two outstanding athletes vying for featherweight contendership.

Lightweight title contender Halil Amir will drop down to featherweight to take on Akbar Abdullaev. Both men are perfect on the global stage and feel they are one win away from standing across from ONE Featherweight MMA World Champion Tang Kai. For Amir, the move down is an effort to take full advantage of his physical gifts.
