ONE Championship: Jonathan Di Bella gets chance to avenge only loss of his career
The Italian-Canadian faces Thai star Prajanchai PK Saenchai in October rematch for the ONE strawweight kickboxing world title
Jonathan Di Bella is heading back to Thailand for the biggest fight of his career, with the 29-year-old challenging Prajanchai PK Saenchai for the ONE strawweight kickboxing world title at ONE Fight Night 36.
The Italian-Canadian star returns to Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium to face the Thai in a high-stakes title unification bout on October 3, and an opportunity to avenge the lone blemish on his record.
“When I saw it was finally me fighting Prajanchai again, I was so happy. It’s about time we run it back,” Di Bella told the Post. “I believe I won the first fight, but that’s in the past. This is the chance to even the score.”
The pair first clashed in June 2024 in a five-round war for the vacant kickboxing belt.
It was a razor-close contest, but Prajanchai’s precise combinations and late surge earned him the unanimous decision and the gold.
For Di Bella, that night was both a turning point and a source of motivation.
