The Singapore-based promotion announced the bantamweight (145-pound) championship rematch on Tuesday. The first meeting between Lineker and Andrade was ruled a no contest when an accidental knee to the groin rendered Lineker unable to continue 2:44 into Round 3 of their bout at One on Prime Video 3. Lineker was stripped of the belt after missing weight prior to the fight, so the One bantamweight throne is currently vacant.
Lineker began his promotional tenure with four straight triumphs, including three via knockout or technical knockout. He claimed the belt with a second-round KO of Bibiano Fernandes at One “Lights Out” this past March.
Andrade had been victorious in seven consecutive outings prior to the no contest. He is 5-0 under the One banner, with all his victories coming inside the distance. The 25-year-old Brazilian is 8-2 since beginning his pro career in 2014.
