Ana Julaton joins One FC

MANILA, Philippines — After carving a niche in world pro boxing, Ana “The Hurricane” Julaton is bringing her act in the One Fighting Championship.

The first Filipino to win the women’s WBO super bantamweight and IBA super bantamweight world titles faces Egyptian kickboxing champion Aya Saeid Saber in the One FC: Rise of Heroes on May 2 at MOA Arena.
