ONE Championship’s first all-Muay Thai card is finally complete with the addition of an exciting lightweight pairing. At ONE Fight Night 17: Kryklia vs. Roberts on Friday, December 8, former World Title challenger Dmitry Menshikov will step into his third promotional outing. It will be against Spanish-Moroccan striker Mouhcine Chafi inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Menshikov had the spotlight on him as soon as he arrived in the world’s largest martial arts organization. He challenged Regian Eersel for the ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Title in his debut at ONE Fight Night 11 this past June. Unfortunately, he couldn’t score a shock win against the Surinamese superstar, who handed him a knockout in the opening round.

An important fight for Dmitry Menshikov

The 25-year-old striker was undeterred, though, and he showed his own stopping power by snapping Rungrawee Sitsongpeenong’s three-fight winning streak via a first-round knockout at ONE Fight Night 14 in September.
