24-year-old Muay Thai phenom 'El Jefe' Ellis Badr Barboza of the United Kingdom can't wait to show the world what he can do against an absolute icon in Prajanchai PK Saenchai this weekend.
The two will face off in a heated main event at ONE Fight Night 28, and Barboza will get the chance to take home the gold if he wins.
Ahead of the highly anticipated showdown, Barboza wanted to give props to his camp now at Venum in Thailand. He told Fightlore Official in a recent interview:
"I’ve trained at many gyms around the world. Right now, I’m at Venum Training Camp. I think this is the best place for me now. There are many good training partners, good training programs, science-backed training, and everyone here are high-level fighters. So they’re pushing me and motivating me to be the best."
