“We really go at it” - Denice Zamboanga pulls no punches when sparring against fiance and fellow ONE fighter Fritz Biagtan
Second-ranked ONE Championship women's atomweight contender 'The Menace' Denice Zamboanga of the Philippines is lucky to have her fiance, fellow ONE athlete Fritz Biagtan in her corner.
Biagtan is one of the most promising talents in the world's largest martial arts organization and is helping Zamboanga become the best fighter she can be.
Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Zamboanga talked about how Biagtan has helped shape her game in the Circle.
'The Menace' stated:
"Me and Fritz, we really go at it during training sessions. It’s like we’re not engaged here. It’s like we’re not partners at all. He’s strict when it comes to training. When he tells me I have to do this, I have no choice but to follow. But of course, we both let our guards down after training and we’re back to being partners. We have that kind of switch."
'The Menace' Denice Zamboanga is set to face rising star 'Lil' Monkey' Noelle Grandjean at ONE 167: Tawanchai vs. Nattawut II on Prime Video.
The event broadcasts live from the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
