Chinese fighters Sanlan Geshi and Lang Jiachen will compete at ONE Friday Fights 68 with a shot at a multi-fight contract with ONE Championship.
Gesi is scheduled to face China-Japan's Wakabayashi Kohei in a catchweight mixed martial arts (MMA) bout set at 143 pounds (64 kilograms).
Wakabayashi, who broke out as an amateur in Japan, has had success in Pancrase with an impressive record of 14-2, but is most recently coming off a loss to Changi Karaul at ONE Friday Fights 56. This will be his first time competing in ONE Championship.
Lang will face Kaito Sakaguchi in a catchweight kickboxing bout. The Chinese fighter competes regularly in Thailand, taking part in local events such as RWS and Thai Fight.
Sakaguchi, a former RISE featherweight title challenger who has also competed for the Shootboxing featherweight belt in Japan, is the 22-year-old with a 14-0 record and will be making his ONE Championship debut in this bout, which will be held at 132 pounds (60 kg) for both fighters.
Meanwhile, with Joshua Pacio still sidelined, ONE Fight Night 24 will see Jared Brooks and Gustavo Balart battle it out for the interim strawweight title.
Pacio retains the title but was injured prior to his win over Brooks at ONE 166. The American slammed Pacio to the canvas with an illegal suplex, which resulted in a disqualification.
The Filipino has recovered from a neck injury he suffered during that bout, but he was already plagued by knee problems and it was discovered he had torn his anterior cruciate ligament while preparing for ONE 166.
Prior to signing with ONE Championship, Brooks competed in the UFC flyweight division and had never lost a bout at strawweight before his disqualification loss to Pacio.
The interim title was introduced because Pacio is unlikely to fight again this year. Brooks (20-3-0, 1-1) lost his seven-fight winning streak by disqualification, losing his unbeaten streak inside the ONE Championship cage and his strawweight belt.
Meanwhile, Balart (12-4) has bounced back after losing his first three bouts in ONE Championship. The Cuban wrestler has won each of his last four bouts by full rounds.
Balart represented Cuba at the 2011 Pan American Games, winning the gold medal in the 121-pound (55 kg) weight class. At just 4 feet 11 inches (1.25 m), Balart is the shortest fighter in ONE Championship's strawweight division.
ONE 24 is scheduled to take place at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok on August 2. This will be the only bout scheduled on the card and will be the main event as it will mark the first time both fighters will compete at the famed venue.
