Duangsompong Jitmuangnon shared to ONE Championship:
“I’ve always followed Batman’s performances. He’s a skilled fighter. But I want him to trade blows with me in our fight. I don’t want him to back down too much.”
Like his champion teammate Rodtang 'The Iron Man' Jitmuangnon, Duangsompong Jitmuangnon hopes to make a name for himself in ONE Championship and continue making a good living out of it.
The ONE Friday Fights series began early last month. It was established to spotlight and give opportunities to Muay Thai fighters from different parts of the world, as well as top fighters coming out of Thailand.
Duangsompong Jitmuangnon reveals his game plan against Batman Or.Atchariya
Duangsompong Jitmuangnon will clash with highly touted fighter Batman Or.Atchariya in his ONE Championship debut. He is expecting a tough battle, but nonetheless is confident of his chances.
The two warriors collide at ONE Friday Fights 4 on February 10 at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok.
Duangsompong, fighting out of Jitmuangnon Gym, shared to ONE Championship what he has planned for Batman in the lead-up to their showdown and is bent on delivering.
He said:
“Batman’s strengths are probably his kicks and flying knees. But I’m not afraid of them. I’ve focused on training and neutralizing his game. I just have to watch out for his punches, elbows, and counters."
He added:
“My game plan is to walk toward him, but I have to be more concise than before. I think this match will not go the distance because I plan to [get the finish and] receive a bonus.”
To help him prepare for his debut, Duangsompong Jitmuangnon is training hard with his team and studying the fights of noted teammate Rodtang Jitmuangnon.
Batman, for his part, is making his return to Lumpinee Stadium and is hoping it will help him swing back to winning consistently after a roller-coaster campaign in 2022.
