In an electrifying addition to ONE Fight Night 23, Japanese bantamweight Muay Thai sensation Shinji Suzuki will go toe-to-toe with Irish newcomer Stefan Korodi. This hard-hitting clash is scheduled for July 5th, as part of a thrilling fight night broadcasted live from Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Suzuki, known for his devastating knockouts and solid boxing skills, earned his spot in the ONE Championship roster after emerging victorious in the Road to ONE: Japan tournament last year. Despite a setback against Suablack, Suzuki showcased resilience and skill in his recent win over Han Zi Hao at ONE 166, marking his determination to climb the ranks.
Korodi, making his mark in the ONE Championship scene, displayed his potential in his debut against Suablack at ONE Fight Night 18. Despite facing a tough opponent, the Irish fighter impressed with his striking ability and resilience, proving he belongs among the elite.
The clash between Suzuki and Korodi promises to be a highlight of ONE Fight Night 23, setting the stage for an action-packed evening headlined by the inaugural ONE Women’s Strawweight Kickboxing World Title bout between Jackie Buntan and Anissa Meksen.
