John Lineker Hopes for Knockout Win vs. Stephen Loman at One on Prime Video 14
Jason Silva-USA TODAY Sports


John Lineker will have his third fight for One Championship this year when he faces Stephen Loman on Friday at Singapore Indoor Stadium.


"I´m so glad to have the opportunity to fight three times in a year,” Lineker said ahead of his bout at One on Prime Video 14. “That´s something really important for a family man like myself. To tell you the truth, I came almost straight from the camp against Jae Woong Kim on Aug. 4 to that one against Loman and my body reacted in a excellent manner.”

Lineker spent the last portion of his current camp in ******, Thailand. It’s something he plans on making a regular occurence.

"This time I came 15 days before the fight to train here in Thailand and adapt myself better to the time zone. From now on I´ll always do that before my fights in Asia,” Lineker said.

Loman enters the matchup on an 11-fight winning streak. Lineker is expecting a difficult test from his Filipino opponent.

"Loman is a very tough oponent, and I’m expecting a war and a great show to the audience,” Lineker said. “I hope I can put in practice all I’ve trained and finish that one with the 19th KO of my career.”

A victory over Loman could potentially set up a trilogy bout against One bantamweight (145-pound) champion Fabricio Andrade. If he gets past Loman, Lineker promises some surprises in a third meeting with Andrade.

"Loman is a tough oponent, I have to focus on one war each time,” Lineker said. “But no doubt if I face Andrade you will see a totally different John Lineker.”
