“This is the match I’ve wanted for so long” – Denice Zamboanga grateful that dream fight vs Stamp is finally happening

Denice Zamboanga has been waiting a long time for her first shot at ONE Championship gold. On Friday, June 7, she'll look to cash in on the opportunity to become the promotion's newest atomweight queen at ONE 167.

Throughout her run with the promotion, 'The Menace' has earned a slew of noteworthy wins against the division's top stars, including Jihin Radzuan, Mei Yamaguchi, Lin Heqin, and Julie Mezabarba. However, Zamboanga will face her toughest test yet when he steps inside the Circle for a world-title clash with reigning atomweight MMA titleholder Stamp Fairtex.

During an appearance on The Sheehan Show via Sherdog.com, Denice Zamboanga spoke about the importance of her upcoming opportunity, saying:

"This is the match that I’ve wanted for so long, and thankfully, yeah, it’s a world title shot."

Overall, Zamboanga is 10-2 in MMA with five of her wins coming under the ONE banner. That success has slid her into the No. 2 spot in the atomweight rankings and on the cusp of becoming a world champion for the first time in her career.
