WATCH: Thai megastar Rodtang's savage beatdown of Joseph Lasiri in world title defense in Singapore

Former ONE strawweight Muay Thai world champion Joseph Lasiri has challenged reigning ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon for his 26-pound golden belt in a champion-versus-champion clash at ONE on Prime Video 4 in November 2022.

Fight highlights of this thrilling showdown that went down inside the Singapore Indoor Stadium was reposted by ONE Championship on their Instagram account.

'The Iron Man' proved that 'The Hurricane's' challenge was an easy assignment for him because he just walked him down and bullied him around the circle throughout the fight.

Rodtang's constant pressure and powerful combinations were too much for his Italian-Morrocan opponent as he yielded a lopsided unanimous decision nod from the judges.

The best moments for the Jitmuangnon Gym representative were the two knockdowns he scored in the late stage of the match, particularly in the fourth and fifth rounds, where he finally made Lasiri touch the canvas and dropped him.
