MANILA, Philippines -- The highly-anticipated showdown between top flyweight contenders Danny Kingad and Kairat Akhmetov will have to wait.

ONE Championship announced on Monday that the Kingad-Akhmetov fight has been replaced by a strawweight showdown between South Africa's Bokang Masunyane and the Philippines' Rene Catalan.Catalan will try to stop the momentum of Masunyane, who made his ONE Championship debut in December by overwhelming Japan's Ryuto Sawada.

Now 41 years old, Catalan is still ranked in the top 3 of the division and is looking for another shot against reigning champion Joshua Pacio. Catalan, a former wushu world champion, won six consecutive bouts including a stoppage victory over former strawweight champion Yoshitaka Naito in March 2019 before losing to Pacio in November last year.
