Two of the planet’s most technical strikers will throw down for the vacant ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World Title in the main event of ONE Friday Fights 68, as former titleholder Jonathan Di Bella will battle current strawweight Muay Thai kingpin Prajanchai PK Saenchai.

That bout will take place live in Asia primetime on June 28 at Bangkok’s legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium.

Jonathan Di Bella opens up to fighting Prajanchai PK Saenchai

Undefeated across 12 professional fights, including a pair of epic World Title victories in ONE, Di Bella is ready for any kind of fight – whether it’s a clash of masterful techniques or a wild brawl.

The Italian-Canadian sensation recently spoke about his upcoming showdown with Prajanchai, “I believe whoever uses their IQ and whoever is smarter will win the fight. Fans should expect a technical battle.  

“But then it could be technical or it could be a crazy war. It depends on how he comes out and how I come out. Who knows? But they should expect something cool and a very good fight.” 

Di Bella has had plenty of time to think about how he’ll handle the Thai fan favorite. The pair was previously scheduled to fight for Di Bella’s strawweight kickboxing crown, but when the 27-year-old fell ill and was unable to pass his mandatory hydration test, he was stripped of his World Title and the bout was postponed.

The Italian-Canadian confidently predicts the outcome of his next fight

While he was undoubtedly crushed to have his 26 pounds of gold taken away, the Montreal native has remained in training camp mode and has only sharpened his weapons in the past few months.

Now more confident than ever, he added, “The circumstances changed, but I was ready for him and very excited to compete against him in April. We just had to take some more time. We kept sharp when we came back to the gym, and that’s it. It was repetition of the things we were doing before for him.  

“I’ve just got to go in there and be ready for everything that he has. I can’t predict anything that will happen in the fight – I just predict a win for myself.”
