ONE Friday Fights 68 is slowly taking shape as another high-octane affair with the latest addition to the card. The tentpole event set for Friday, June 28, will now feature a pivotal bantamweight Muay Thai battle between Thailand’s Suablack Tor Pran49 and undefeated Kiamran Nabati inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Carrying an 18-year-old record before he arrived in the world’s largest martial arts organization, Nabati lived up to the hype by defeating Pongsiri PK Saenchai in his promotional debut at ONE Friday Fights 35 in September last year.

High-stakes clash in the bantamweight Muay Thai division: Suablack and Kiamran Nabati

He followed it up earlier this year with a hard-earned unanimous decision victory over Avatar PK Saenchai, which snapped the Thai veteran’s four-fight win streak. He has shown that he has what it takes to compete on the global stage of ONE, but he will face a tough test in Suablack.

The 27-year-old has done nothing but impress every time he steps inside the ring to compete. The Tor Pran49 product dominated his competition in the Friday Fights series, scoring four straight stoppages to earn a spot on ONE’s global roster with an opportunity to compete in the promotion’s U.S. primetime shows.

There, he would continue his brilliant run with back-to-back wins. His latest conquest at ONE Fight Night 21 last month was Nabati’s teammate, Vladimir Kuzmin. In his return to the Friday Fights series, he will look to get back to his finishing ways and make a move closer toward the top of the stacked bantamweight Muay Thai division.

Of course, it won’t be easy against Nabati, who will be motivated by vengeance for his teammate as well as the opportunity to make a statement by snapping the Thai knockout artist’s six-fight win streak and potentially making it to ONE’s global roster. The tentpole event is expected to add more huge fights in the coming weeks as one of the biggest Friday Fights shows of the year.

More fights were added to the ONE Friday Fights 68

So far, it has been confirmed that the vacant ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World Championship will be on the line when former titleholder Jonathan Di Bella takes on strawweight Muay Thai king Prajanchai PK Saenchai.

Di Bella was previously scheduled to defend the belt against Prajanchai but failed to hydrate and fell ill before their match at ONE Friday Fights 58 last month. As a result, he was stripped of the prestigious strap.
