“I will do my best” - Prajanchai aims for champ-champ status at ONE Friday Fights 68
ONE strawweight Muay Thai world champion Prajanchai PK Saenchai is doggedly determined to add another championship title to his collection in his scheduled match this week in Thailand.
The 29-year-old Thai champion will vie for the vacant ONE strawweight kickboxing world title against former divisional king Jonathan Di Bella in the headlining match at ONE Friday Fights 68 on June 28 in Bangkok's famed Lumpinee Boxing Stadium.
Speaking to ONE Championship ahead of the marquee match, Prajanchai vowed to go all out come fight night and realize his goal of becoming double champion.
The Bangkok vowed to his fans to put his best foot forward, saying:
"I want to say to all my fans, especially all the Thai fans, tune in and cheer on me this Friday, especially my family, my girlfriend's family, the PK Saenchai gym, please tune in for the fight this Friday. I will do my best."
The Prajanchai-Di Bella title clash was initially set to take place back in April until then-world champion Di Bella missed the hydration levels during the weigh-ins. He was stripped of the world title and the fight was ultimately cancelled.

Prajanchai sees ONE kickboxing gold further enhancing standing as a top notch fighter
Prajanchai PK Saenchai is already considered to be among the top of fighters in the game right now but sees becoming a double ONE world champion further enhancing that.
The reigning ONE strawweight Muay Thai world champion will make a run for the division's vacant kickboxing title at ONE Friday Fights 68 on June 28 in Thailand. He will battle former divisional king Jonathan Di Bella in a five-round scrap.
In an interview with ONE Championship, the PK Saenchai Muaythaigym standout spoke what it would mean to him and his career to become a double champion, saying:
"I don't think there's going to be any change in my career. I definitely want to stick to Muay Thai. But getting this belt is like another level for me to achieve."
Prajanchai was last in action back in December where, as the interim titleholder, he unified the strawweight Muay Thai belts by knocking out former world champion Joseph Lasiri in the opening round.
