Jonathan Di Bella

Jonathan Di Bella defends his ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World Title against none other than Prajanchai PK Saenchai. This event airs live in Asian primetime from the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

The Italian-Canadian sensation steps into the ring for the second time as a defending titleholder. His championship journey began in October 2022 when he clinched the belt in a memorable showdown against Zhang Peimian.

Di Bella further solidified his reign with a masterful display against Danial Williams in October 2023.

This victory stretched his flawless record in kickboxing to 12-0. It also established Di Bella as a force to be reckoned with.

However, standing across from him is a formidable adversary in Prajanchai. He is a veteran with nearly 400 bouts under his belt.

Prajanchai aims to upset Jonathan Di Bella, become two-sport king

Prajanchai PK Saenchai, the reigning ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Champion, boasts a remarkable resume.

Renowned for his dominance in “the art of eight limbs,” the Thai megastar has clinched prestigious World Titles across multiple divisions at both Lumpinee Boxing Stadium and Rajadamnern Stadium.

Prajanchai reaffirmed his status as the undisputed strawweight Muay Thai king in a highly anticipated rematch against Joseph Lasiri in December 2023. There, he avenged his sole defeat in ONE Championship with a resounding knockout victory.

Notably, Prajanchai showcased his adaptability by securing a victory under kickboxing rules against Akram Hamidi in September 2023. In that matchup, he demonstrated his readiness for a shot at Jonathan Di Bella’s crown.
