ONE Championship will soon return to the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand for a can’t-miss 11-bout fight card topped by a pair of high-stakes World Title contests.

ONE Friday Fights 58: Superbon vs. Grigorian II goes down live in Asia primetime this Friday, April 5, and features the planet’s most talented and dangerous strikers from top to bottom. Beyond the two kickboxing World Title fights at the top of the bill, this event offers no shortage of compelling battles, all designed to produce fireworks.

Zhang Peimian vs. Aliff Sor Dechapan

Before the action gets underway in Bangkok, we look at three of the card’s most intriguing matchups. In strawweight kickboxing action, former World Title challenger “Fighting Rooster” Zhang Peimian aims to bounce back from a heartbreaking split decision loss.

That was against Rui Botelho last November at ONE Fight Night 16 when he takes on surging Muay Thai contender Aliff Sor Dechapan. For the 20-year-old Zhang, this will be his opportunity to showcase his explosive, ultra-aggressive style and remind fans why he’s one of the most exciting young stars in all of kickboxing.

Aliff, meanwhile, hopes to extend his pristine 4-0 record at ONE Friday Fights and prove that his show-stopping power translates from Muay Thai to kickboxing.

Jake Peacok vs. Kohei Shinjo

A pair of rising bantamweight Muay Thai stars will make their much-anticipated promotional debuts when Japanese scrapper Kohei Shinjo squares off with limb-different fighter Jake “The One” Peacock.

Both men will be looking to make a statement on the global stage, but for the one-handed Road to ONE: Canada winner Peacock, this bout will be his opportunity to inspire millions around the world. The 30-year-old Canadian has already proven himself to be a ruthless knockout artist, racking up 11 stoppages in 12 career wins, but he’s in for a stiff test against the 34-year-old Shinjo, who possesses a well-rounded and gritty style of striking.

Seksan Or Kwanmuang vs. Yutaro Asahi 

After going 8-0 in 2023, Seksan Or Kwanmuang has firmly established himself as perhaps the most electrifying athlete in all of Muay Thai, renowned for his never-say-die attitude and ferocious aggression. The Thai fan-favorite will try to keep his reign of terror alive when he faces ONE newcomer Yutaro Asahi in a 142-pound catchweight Muay Thai tilt.
