Tye Ruotolo will be taking on Jozef Chen in a catchweight bout at ONE Fight Night 23 on July 6th, 2024. This marks a departure from Ruotolo’s usual defense of his ONE Championship welterweight world title. The match has been set at 186 lbs, which means Ruotolo’s title will not be up for grabs, offering a significant opportunity for Chen. Ruotolo has been actively seeking challenging opponents in his recent fights, and this upcoming bout is no different.
Chen gained recognition on the global stage by emerging victorious in the ADCC European, Middle-Eastern, and African Trials in 2023. Facing Ruotolo presents Chen with an opportunity to further solidify his presence in the sport, especially after deciding to skip the ADCC 2024 in favor of the Craig Jones Invitational.
Despite being just 21 years old, Ruotolo is a seasoned competitor with accolades at ADCC and holding the welterweight title at ONE Championship. With an impressive flawless record of 6-0 at ONE Championship, Ruotolo will be striving to continue his winning streak. Conversely, Chen will aim to showcase his skills by adding Ruotolo’s name to his list of victories and boosting his rankings.
Fans can anticipate an electrifying and fast-paced showdown between these two highly skilled fighters at ONE Fight Night 23.
