ONE Championship: Prajanchai ready for rematch with ‘biggest test’ Jonathan Di Bella
As he prepares for his biggest kickboxing test at ONE Fight Night 36, Thai double champion runs the rule over future challengers
Prajanchai PK Saenchai will step into Lumpinee Stadium on Saturday for a rematch with Jonathan Di Bella, and the Thai double champion is confident he has made the right changes to get the job done against the Canadian-Italian.
“Of course, my plan has changed – it will be very difficult for him to beat me,” he told the Post ahead of the strawweight kickboxing world title bout at ONE Fight Night 36 in Bangkok.
The pair went five close rounds in their first meeting, with some fans believing Di Bella had done enough to win. Prajanchai disagreed.
“I believe that I won that fight: my accuracy was better,” he said. “It doesn’t really bother me what people say. I did my best that day.”
At 29, Prajanchai has already collected belts in both Muay Thai and kickboxing. He has fought close to 400 times in his career, underlining the depth of his experience at the highest level.
He admitted that Di Bella was still a different kind of opponent.
