After two years away from the cage, ONE Heavyweight World Champion Brandon “The Truth” Vera is all ready to defend his title against ONE World Title Challenger Mauro “The Hammer” Cerilli in ONE: CONQUEST OF CHAMPIONS at the Mall of Asia Arena on November 23.

“I’ve prepared very hard for this bout. I’ve trained every day, in between traffic, shoots, and everything in the middle. I am confident of victory. I’m still hungry and I want it more now. Mauro is a worthy opponent, he’s been knocking guys out while I was away, and I am in no way underestimating him,” said Vera at the Kick-Off Press Conference November 20 at City of Dreams.

Khan, who is fighting for the second time in Manila, is “one hundred percent confident of becoming world champion.”
