Fabricio Andrade has walked the talk throughout his tenure in ONE Championship, and he’s prepared to do the same when ONE Fight Night 15 gets underway inside the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The Brazilian athlete meets Jonathan Haggerty for the vacant bantamweight kickboxing crown on the October 6 bill, with his confidence at an all-time high.
For one, the 25-year-old martial artist is keen to prove why he’s one of the leading superstars in the promotion. Apart from that, he’s pumped to return to his field of old and become a two-sport king in ONE.

Not many have succeeded in attaining two world titles in separate disciplines.
