"Ready to give my all" - Denice Zamboanga pumped for world title unification war vs Stamp at ONE 173: Denver

At ONE 173: Denver, Denice Zamboanga and close friend Stamp Fairtex meet to unify the atomweight MMA crown on Friday, Aug. 1.

'The Menace' and the three-sport queen put their friendship aside when the promotion's highly awaited return to North America gets underway in the Ball Arena.

Shortly after the bout was announced, the ONE interim atomweight world champion told the promotion:

"Representing my country on such a grand stage fills me with immense pride. I am ready to give my all and bring honor to our nation."

Zamboanga created history in her last outing when she outclassed Alyona Rassohyna on her way to a second-round TKO at ONE Fight Night 27 this past January.

Her fourth successive triumph made her the ONE interim women's atomweight world champion and earned her a US$50,000 performance bonus.

She'll look to swap her provisional strap for the divisional strap in Ball Arena next.

More fights will be added to ONE 173: Denver in the coming weeks.

As always, stay tuned to Sportskeeda MMA for any updates. Fans interested in experiencing the card in the Ball Arena can register their interest here.
