Andy Howson went on to say; We're so excited about this partnership with Chatri and One Championship. Now I’m retired and can no longer fight for the company, to be able to still be involved with the One family and to help bring One to the UK alongside the guys at MTGP is amazing. Hat off to Phil for being able to sort something like this, it’s truly a game changer for the UK Muay Thai, K1 & MMA fighters. We already have some amazing talent here in the UK and I think this announcement is only going to push out fighters to be even better in hope of been signed.
