ONE Championship wants to put on an exciting event on October 29, 2021, at ONE: NEXTGEN. However, the promotion recently had to make a few changes because of unavoidable circumstances. 

Initially, Roman Kryklia was going to defend his ONE Light Heavyweight Kickboxing World Title against Murat Aygun in the main event. However, Aygun pulled out of the fight, and Kryklia was going to face Iraj Azizpour for the inaugural ONE Kickboxing Heavyweight World Championship. 

However, the changes in the main event didn’t stop at that. Later, Kryklia also pulled out of the fight due to an undisclosed medical condition. Thus, the main event, which was supposed to be a Kickboxing world title bout, got canceled.

Now, two women’s atomweight Grand Prix bouts will headline the event. The main event will feature Stamp Fairtex facing Julie Mezabarba in a ONE women’s atomweight World Grand Prix semifinals. Meanwhile, the other Grand Prix semifinal bout will serve as the co-main event.

Last-minute changes in the co-main event

Initially, in the ONE: NEXTGEN co-main event, Ritu Phogat was going to face Itsuki Hirata in their ONE women’s atomweight World Grand Prix semifinals. However, Hirata withdrew from the bout due to a non-covid related fever. 

Now, Jenelyn Olsim will replace Hirata and face Ritu Phogat in the co-main event in a ONE women’s atomweight World Grand Prix semifinals.
