Fans are ecstatic about the upcoming ONE strawweight kickboxing world title fight between Jonathan Di Bella and Prajanchai.

On June 28, ONE Championship will return to the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, for ONE Friday Fights 68. In the main event, Di Bella looks to regain his strawweight kickboxing throne against Prajanchai after their fight was re-scheduled from ONE Friday Fights 58 due to the former missing weight.

Earlier this week, ONE officially announced Prajanchai vs Jonathan Di Bella on Instagram, leading to the following fan reactions in the comment section:

"This fight gonna be fire no cap"
"THIS IS A CRAZY FIGHT BOTH ARE THE BEST STRIKERS TO EVER LIVE! Everyone should watch this fight"
"Banger alert!!!"
"Wow this will be my favourite fight of the year"

The June 28 event will also feature Superlek in the co-main event. The reigning ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion is scheduled to fight in a non-title Muay Thai bout against Kongthoranee, who holds a promotional record of 8-1.


Who did Jonathan Di Bella and Prajanchai face in their last fights?

Jonathan Di Bella made his ONE Championship debut in October 2022, defeating Zhang Peimian by unanimous decision for the inaugural strawweight kickboxing world title. A year later, the Candian-Italian fought in his latest promotional appearance, a unanimous decision title defense against Danial Williams.

Meanwhile, Prajanchai became the interim strawweight Muay Thai world champion by defeating Sam-A in June 2023. In December of last year, the Thai superstar capitalized on his throne by securing a first-round knockout win against Joseph Lasiri to become the undisputed strawweight king in "The Art of Eight Limbs."

Heading into ONE Friday Fights 68, Di Bella and Prajanchai are looking to add another impressive name to their resume. It'll be easier said than done for both fighters, as they've each proven themselves by becoming a world champion under the ONE banner. Only time will tell who can emerge victorious in Bangkok.
