With the ongoing coronavirus outbreak still causing issues around the world, ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong has announced the postponement of the scheduled ONE: HEART OF HEROES event in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

The promotion’s priority is the health and safety of all athletes, staff and fans – as well as the community at large in Vietnam – so the card at the Phu Tho Indoor Stadium has been moved from Friday, 20 March to Friday, 26 June.

Sityodtong revealed the news on Facebook on Friday, 6 March, after discussions with Vietnamese government officials.
