Di Bella Set to Defend Strawweight Kickboxing Title in Rematch With Zhang

Overview

• ONE has locked Jonathan Di Bella vs. Zhang Peimian to headline The Inner Circle 22 at Lumpinee Stadium, with the fight scheduled for Friday, July 17, 2026.
• The bout is a direct rematch of their October 2022 meeting, when Di Bella won a narrow decision to claim the vacant ONE strawweight kickboxing title.
• Di Bella arrives as reigning champion after a turbulent title run that included being stripped in April 2024 for missing weight, losing the vacant-belt bout, winning interim gold over Sam-A, and unifying the belt by stopping Prajanchai.
• Zhang enters on a multi-fight winning streak and says he has improved technically and mentally as he chases his first ONE world title and revenge for the 2022 loss.
• The Inner Circle 22 card pairs the rematch with submission grappling and Muay Thai bouts such as Helena Crevar vs. Paige Ivette Clymer and Kompikart PK Saenchai vs. Mustafa Al-Tekreeti, and ONE will stream Inner Circle fights via its subscriber service while the main card is available on YouTube.
