Background
The event will feature a catchweight Muay Thai contest between Tawanchai P.K.Saenchaimuaythaigym and Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong.
Saemapetch Fairtex was originally scheduled to square off against Tawanchai PK.Saenchai Muaythaigym, with the winner getting a shot at reigning ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion. However, Saemapetch’s cornerman tested positive for COVID-19 prior to traveling to Singapore. The Fairtex athlete had been in close contact with the cornerman, so he’s been removed from ONE: BATTLEGROUND III due to Singapore’s health and safety protocols. With both of their opponents out, Sitthichai and Tawanchai have agreed to compete in a ONE Super Series featherweight Muay Thai contest.
The card will also feature a strawweight bout between former ONE Strawweight Champion Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke and Banma Duoji.
An atomweight bout between Bi Nguyen and Jenelyn Olsim was scheduled for the event.
