Malaysian fighter Rifdean Masdor to face Iran's Javad Mozafari at ONE Championship's The Inner Circle 19

Malaysian atomweight Muay‑Thai phenom Rifdean “Magic Boy” Masdor, 23, with a 6‑1 ONE Championship record, is set to fight Iran’s debutant Javad Mozafari at The Inner Circle 19 on June 19. The bout, part of a three‑round strike‑fest, will be staged at Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium and streamed live on ONE FC.

Masdor is chasing a US$100,000 main‑roster contract; a fifth consecutive promotional win would secure his place on the ONE roster. He explained his style, saying, “Because [in my fights] I do elbows, flying knees, sometimes they get KO’d, like magic.” He added, “I believe I can be champion.” A victory would move him closer to joining fellow Malaysian fighters Johan “Jojo” Ghazali and Aliff Sor Dechapan on the organization’s elite roster.
