The world’s largest martial arts organization, ONE Championship, just dropped a massive announcement: a two-year global partnership with Venum, the premier name in combat sports gear, that kicked off on October 1, 2026. This isn’t just some handshake deal; we’re talking about a full-on collaboration that ensures ONE’s stacked roster of global superstars will be rocking top-tier, high-performance gear designed specifically for elite martial artists.
Get Ready for Venum to Dominate the Roster
Here’s the lowdown: Venum is now the official apparel partner for all of ONE’s marquee numbered events and those monthly ONE Fight Night shows everyone tunes into in U.S. primetime. But wait, there’s more! For the hugely popular ONE SAMURAI event series over in Japan, Venum isn’t just doing apparel, they’re stepping in as the official *glove* partner too. Can you imagine the custom competition gloves we’re about to see? It’s going to be insane. We’re talking about every MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing, and submission grappling champ, all their cornermen even, getting hooked up with special ONE and Venum co-branded walkout shirts. The apparel portion of this partnership already hit the ground running at ONE Fight Night 48 live from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok on October 2. And get this: the full apparel *and* custom gloves debut is set for ONE SAMURAI 4, broadcasting live from Ariake Arena in Tokyo on October 17. This is a game-changer for fighter performance and presentation.
Why This Is a Power Move for Both Brands and Fans
This isn’t just about looking good; it’s about pushing boundaries. Hua Fung Teh, Co-Founder and Group President of ONE Championship, said it best: partnering with Venum means their athletes get “the highest quality gear as they compete on the world’s biggest stage.” He’s right, Venum knows exactly what world-class competition demands. Franck Dupuis, Founder and CEO of Venum, echoed that sentiment, emphasizing their shared ambition to push “performance, innovation, and design forward.” They’re creating distinct product lines specifically for the greatest athletes on the planet. And for us fans? Yeah, we’re covered. You’ll be able to snag new ONE and Venum co-branded apparel and merchandise at Venum’s event booths, their Training Camp stores in Thailand, online through Venum’s website, and even globally at major retailers like Amazon, Decathlon, and JD Sports. This partnership is a huge win for everyone involved.
October 17th is the next big date to circle, with ONE SAMURAI 4 ready to unleash the full force of this Venum partnership, complete with custom competition gloves. You know we’ll be watching to see how this elite new gear elevates the performance of ONE’s incredible roster.
