In a statement released on Tuesday, ONE Championship made the decision to remove Chi Lewis-Parry from the ONE FC: SPIRIT OF CHAMPIONS MMA event slated this Friday at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The outfit cited the inability of Parry to provide his medical results and drug tests in spite of numerous requests to do so. He also has opted not to take the flight from London to Manila.

ONE FC: SPIRIT OF CHAMPIONS will be shown LIVE on Friday, December 11, on Fox Sports 2, starting at 830pm.
