MANILA, Philippines - One Fighting Championship has finalized the line-up for the blockbuster One FC: Rise of Heroes event with the addition of a bout between boxing world champion Ana Julaton and Egyptian kickboxing champion Aya Saeid Saber.
Tickets are on sale at SM Tickets (www.smtickets.com). Ticket categories begin with the full Red Carpet and cage side experience for VIPs at P6,360 followed by Patron P3,180, Lower Box P1,280, Upper Box P640 and General Admission P220.
Ana is the first Filipina boxer to win the women’s WBO Super Bantamweight and IBA Super Bantamweight World Championships. Her signing with One FC marks her first step to becoming a two-sport athlete. Her overpowering attacks in the ring earned her the nickname “The Hurricane†and made her a fan favorite in the Philippines. It took her only five professional bouts to win a championship in boxing and she hopes her mixed martial arts career will be equally successful.
Ana is excited to compete in the Philippines for the first time. She stated, “Aya Saber is an experienced MMA warrior and champion in kickboxing. I know she will bring her very best on May 2. I’m training for my One FC homecoming fight in Manila harder than ever before and what gives me strength through my ups and downs are the hearts of my kababayan all over.â€
Meanwhile, Aya is a kickboxing champion who has conquered the kickboxing scene in the Middle East. She sets her sights on scaling One FC’s highly-competitive female circuit. She combines explosive kicks with takedown skills. Aya is relishing her opportunity to upstage Ana in front of her 20,000-strong Filipino home crowd.
