MANILA, Philippines—Carlo Bumina-ang’s first challenge as an official member of ONE Championship has arrived in the form of Asa Ten Pow for ONE Fight Night 24: Brooks vs. Balart.

As announced by ONE, Bumina-ang will test his mettle anew against Ten Pow in the bantamweight division just a few months after signing his 100,000-dollar contract deal.

The Team Lakay fighter is eager to prove his worth against his American competitor.

“I want to show that I belong in this league,” said Bumina-ang in Filipino. “Expect this fight to be as explosive as the last. Only two things will happen here; I knock him out or I make him submit.”

Bumina-ang made noise last May in ONE Friday Fights 65, where he sealed the ONE contract with a second-round submission win over Chayan Oorzhak.

Before that dominant win, the bantamweight combatant won five straight which helped earn him his full-time contract.

But in his official debut, he will have to deal with a resurgent Ten Pow, who won over Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon in ONE Fight night 14: Stamp vs. Ham via TKO in the third round.

Tan Pow and Bumina-ang will clash in an undercard bout to back up the main event bout between Jarred brooks and Gustavo Balart at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on August 3.
