Joshua Pacio, Jarred Brooks Removed From ONE 158 Due To 'Scheduling Conflict'
KEY POINTS
- Jarred Brooks' challenge for Joshua Pacio's strawweight title will have to wait
- The title fight could likely take place at the July 22 event
- ONE 158 will now feature a Muay Thai main event and a possible bantamweight title eliminator in the co-main event
Singapore -- ONE Championship has revealed the full fight card for the hotly-anticipated ONE 158 event on June 3, but fans could be disappointed with the change in the main event.
It was originally scheduled to have ONE strawweight champion Joshua Pacio defending his belt against his rival and the No. 1 contender, Jarred Brooks.
The Singapore-based promotion later explained that the fight has been postponed to a later date due to a “scheduling conflict.”
The next likely date to have Pacio and Brooks settle the score inside the cage is on July 22 as that event has no announced fights yet.
While fans will need to exercise more patience because of Pacio and Brooks’ rivalry fight being postponed, ONE 158 is still strong enough to draw a crowd.
Taking their place atop the card is the featherweight Muay Thai matchup between knockout artist Tawanchai PK.Saenchai and the debuting Dane in Niclas Larsen.
Fans of the promotion should also not miss out on the co-main event as it could potentially be a bantamweight title eliminator between South Korea’s Kwon Won Il and 24-year-old Brazilian knockout artist Fabricio Andrade.
