Egor Bikrev expects a tough battle against Panpayak

Egor Bikrev is expecting to be thoroughly challenged by Panpayak Jitmuangnon in their featured flyweight Muay Thai showdown at ONE Friday Fights 92 on Dec. 20 in Thailand. It is, however, something he said he is ready to take head-on.

He shared this in the press conference for the event, which will be ONE Championship's last live offering for 2024, saying:

"I believe that yes, Panpayak will be a very strong opponent for me. This is because he has a lot of experience, a lot of fights under his belt, so I know he will be a serious opponent, a challenging opponent, but I'm ready."

Egor Binkrev introduced himself on the ONE Championship stage in a grand way, fashioning out a wicked opening-round knockout win over Thai Gingsanglek Wor Kumchamnarn in his promotional debut in November.

He did not waste time asserting his will in his maiden outing, showcasing both his technical skills and power, which culminated with a solid right to the head that sent his opponent reeling and unable to continue after.
