ONE Championship plans at least 50 Live Events in 2020, including expansion to the US and India
ONE Championship just concluded a landmark 2019, the promotion’s biggest year yet. But it has already dropped a huge bombshell heading into 2020.
The organization’s Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong took to social media late Sunday night to announce that ONE Championship is set to produce a record-high 50 live events this year across all of its platforms and key properties. This shatters the previous record of 42 events in 2019.
“I am thrilled to announce that ONE Championship will produce a record high 50 events in 2020 (vs. our prior record of 42 events in 2019) across our key properties: ONE Championship, ONE Super Series, ONE Hero Series, ONE Warrior Series, and ONE Esports,” Sityodtong wrote.
The news comes on the heels of ONE announcing new strategic partnerships with top brands including JBL, TUMI, Redbull, Lazada, DBS Bank, Foodpanda, Hugo Boss, Harvey Norman, Secretlab, California Fitness, Kredivo, Reckitt Benckiser, and Unilever.
Apart from major events in its key markets such as Bangkok, Manila, Tokyo, Jakarta, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and China, among others, ONE also eyes breaking into new markets in India and the United States, slated for later on in the year if all goes according to plan says Sityodtong.
ONE Championship kicks off 2020 with ONE: A NEW TOMORROW, set for this Friday, Jan. 10 at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand. The main event features a highly anticipated rematch between ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon and former champion Jonathan “The General” Haggerty.
