Lito Adiwang has officially moved up to the flyweight division, ending speculation about a potential fight with former teammate Joshua Pacio. This strategic shift aims to better utilize his physical attributes and skill set at this stage of his career.
- Adiwang, previously a strawweight competitor, has embraced the flyweight division permanently. This move alleviates the persistent inquiries about facing Pacio, a confrontation Adiwang has consistently expressed no interest in pursuing due to mutual respect.
- His recent performances in higher weight classes have been successful. Adiwang secured a TKO victory against Mauro Mastromarini in a flyweight bout and a swift 34-second TKO win over Eko Roni Saputra in a bantamweight match at ONE Fight Night 43.
- These victories have positioned Adiwang as a significant contender in the flyweight division, where he intends to focus his future competitions. His previous strawweight bout was a decision loss to Keito Yamakita in February of last year.
- Replays of ONE Fight Night 43, including Adiwang's TKO win, are accessible on demand for Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
