The Inner Circle 22: Di Bella Defends Strawweight Crown, Crevar Seeks Second Straight Victory

ONE Championship delivers an unprecedented Friday evening doubleheader on July 17, as The Inner Circle 22 and ONE Friday Fights 162 take center stage at Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium. Multiple world-class matchups promise championship drama and potential contract-earning performances across disciplines.

The Inner Circle opens with a blockbuster main event as reigning ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World Champion Jonathan Di Bella defends his crown against Chinese striker Zhang Peimian in a highly anticipated rematch.

Di Bella enters in sensational form, recently claiming huge victories over legendary Sam-A Gaiyanghadao and Prajanchai PongSuphan PK. The Italian-Canadian champion has established himself as the division's most dominant striker with impressive finishing ability and technical prowess.

Standing across from him will be Chinese star Zhang Peimian, who was just 19 years old during their first clash in 2022. The now-more-mature and experienced Zhang has developed significantly since that encounter. Zhang enters this rematch with redemption and revenge on his mind.

The co-main event showcases pound-for-pound submission grappling superstar Helena Crevar seeking her second consecutive victory. Also featured on The Inner Circle 22, two of kickboxing's hottest commodities Yuki Yoza and Ben Woolliss collide in bantamweight kickboxing action.

Following The Inner Circle's completion, ONE Friday Fights 162 immediately delivers eight exhilarating Muay Thai and kickboxing matchups. Sixteen fighters will battle for the life-changing US$100,000 main roster contract with ONE Championship.
