ONE Championship has just announced the complete card for “ONE: Beyond the Horizon,” which is set for September 8, 2018 at the Baoshan Arena in Shanghai, China. It will feature 10 bouts including a match between Hakim Hamech, 25, of Lyon, France and Yukinori Ogasawara, 26, of Tokyo, Japan.
Hamech and Ogasawara will compete in a ONE Super Series Muay Thai flyweight contest, which will be the second bout of the evening. In the main event, reigning ONE Women’s Strawweight World Champion “The Panda” Xiong Jing Nan of China will defend her title against Samara “Marituba” Santos of Brazil.
Hakim Hamech
Representing Team-NAS-R.K., Hamech is a professional Muay Thai record of 42 wins and 8 losses. He is a former two-time Muay Thai World Champion and is known for his speed and power.
After building a stellar professional career, Hamech now joins ONE Super Series to showcase his skills under the bright lights of the ONE Championship ring, alongside the biggest tickets in striking martial arts. In his promotional debut, Hamech will search for his first victory in the promotion when he faces Ogasawara, who is a former World Boxing Council (WBC) Japan Super Bantamweight Muay Thai Champion.
Yukinori Ogasawara
Born and raised in Tokyo, Ogasawara finally found his calling when he was 15 years old after a regular childhood hanging around his father’s convenience stores. On a whim, he had signed up to take up kickboxing at Crosspoint Kichijoji near his house, and it would become a turning point in his life.
Ogasawara then spent three years studying abroad in Vancouver, Canada but never stopped training, even competing in an amateur kickboxing match there. He soon made his professional kickboxing debut and has since amassed a professional record of 15 wins, 4 losses and 4 draws, winning a national title along the way.
