Brazil is celebrating a new world champion after RoseMary Amorim captured the prestigious WBC MuayThai welterweight world championship with a commanding performance at the MuayThai Gala in Puerto Rico. Amorim delivered a career-defining display to defeat world-ranked #1 Angela Whitley, securing a unanimous points victory that served as redemption for an earlier loss to the same opponent.
The triumph not only elevates Amorim to the pinnacle of the welterweight division but also highlights the growing strength of Brazilian MuayThai on the global stage. Whitley put forth a gallant effort, but Amorim's sharp technique, relentless pace, and determination left no doubt in the judges' eyes as she claimed the title in emphatic fashion.
Undefeated Russian sensation Asadula Imangazaliev delivered one of the most spectacular knockouts of the year at ONE Friday Fights 122, stopping legendary Muay Thai practitioner Panpayak with a perfectly-timed head kick along the ropes. The dangerous striker pressured Panpayak early and ended up landing the devastating blow that left the veteran unconscious before he slumped over the top rope and fell to the canvas.
The victory earned Imangazaliev a six-figure ONE Championship contract and a spot on the organization's global roster, continuing his dominant takeover with an undefeated ONE record of 6-0. The knockout showcased the rising talent's ability to perform under pressure against experienced opposition, cementing his status as one of the most promising prospects in the flyweight Muay Thai division.

ONE Championship has announced the full fight card for ONE Friday Fights 123, scheduled to take place on September 5 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok. The event continues the organization's weekly showcase of emerging talent in Muay Thai, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts, providing another opportunity for fighters to earn lucrative contracts and spots on the global roster.
The announcement maintains the momentum from the successful ONE Friday Fights 122 event, ensuring that fans will have consistent high-level combat sports entertainment.
