Adrian Pang’s One FC debut and bout against Vincent Latoel has been officially rescheduled for December 19, One FC confirmed today.
The two lightweight veterans will clash on the One FC: Dynasty of Champions event which takes place at The Gymnasium of Nation Olympic Sports Centre in Beijing, China.
The event will be the promotion’s first foray into mainland China after originally having to postpone an event scheduled for October 31.
With Papua New Guinean-Chinese heritage, Pang, a former Legend FC title holder, is excited about the prospect of fighting on mainland China for the first time.
“Fighting in mainland China is very exciting for me as my PNG/Chinese heritage goes back through the generations prior to the World War, so I am looking forward to travelling to China & competing for One Fighting Championship,” Pang told Fight News Australia back in September.
Pang who took time out from his carer to take part as the striking coach on The Ultimate Fighter: Australia vs Canada, will look to return to competition for the first time since a first-round TKO win over Jai Bradney back in June, 2013.
His opponent Vincent Latoel is a veteran fighter who has spent time training at acclaimed gym Golden Glory. The Dutch fighter has fought around the world before signing on for One FC. In his four bouts within the promotion, Latoel has a split 2-2 record, most recently losing to Caros Fodor by submission earlier this month. Prior to that he upset Eddie Ng with a first-round stoppage.
The event will be headlined by an all Chinese bantamweight clash between Ji Xian and youngster Song Ya Dong.
