Prajanchai believes "entertaining and explosive" affair vs. Jonathan Di Bella will be decided by the thinnest of margins
Topnotch Thai striker Prajanchai PK Saenchai believes the outcome of his world title showdown this week with Jonathan Di Bella can easily boil down to who makes the first costly mistake.
The reigning ONE strawweight Muay Thai king will vie for the division's kickboxing gold against reigning titleholder Di Bella in an all-champion clash at ONE Friday Fights 58 on April 5 in Bangkok, Thailand. It will serve as the co-headlining bout for the event happening at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium.
Prajanchai sees the match as going to be entertaining and explosive as well as fairly even, leaving it going either way depending on how they handle themselves come fight night.
He shared to ONE Championship in an interview:
"This fight is gonna be entertaining and explosive. Let's see who makes the first mistake."
A win at ONE Friday Fights 58 will make Prajanchai a two-sport ONE world champion after becoming the promotion's undisputed strawweight Muay Thai world champion back in December. He stopped erstwhile divisional king Joseph Lasiri with a devastating knockout in the opening round.
Jonathan Di Bella, for his part, will be defending his world title for the second time. He retained the belt with a unanimous decision victory over Australian-Thai challenger Danial Williams back in October.
ONE Friday Fights 58 will air live on April 5 via global pay-per-view at watch.onefc.com.
