"We move forward" - Jonathan Di Bella choosing to put world title loss to Prajanchai behind him

ONE strawweight kickboxing star Jonathan Di Bella is moving past his June defeat to ONE strawweight Muay Thai world champion Prajanchai PK Saenchai over the then-vacant 125-pound kickboxing crown.

In an interview with Combat Sports Today, Di Bella spoke about the loss:

​

"Yeah, in my opinion, it was a good fight. A great experience. I believe I won. But like many of the fans believed I won. But what do you want me to do, man? It's life. It happens and we move forward, move on and we go on to the next."

Watch the entire interview below:

Di Bella was stripped of the ONE strawweight kickboxing world championship ahead of his defense against Prajanchai at ONE Friday Fights 58 in April for failing the pre-fight hydration test.

He ultimately withdrew from the event after being rushed to the hospital due to dizziness and nausea.

Rescheduled to ONE Friday Fights 68 still with 26 pounds of strawweight kickboxing gold on the line, Di Bella and Prajanchai dazzled fans with their striking abilities.

Unfortunately, Di Bella fell short of reclaiming the throne as the Thai hero outworked him en route to the unanimous decision win.
