Sitthichai faces a tough test against young knockout artist Shadow at ONE Friday Fights 92
Sitthichai, 33, is an eight-time kickboxing and Muay Thai world champion, winning titles under the GLORY, K-1, Kunlun Fight, and Wu Lin Feng banners. He is also a former Lumpinee Stadium welterweight champion and was a runner-up in the 2021 ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix tournament.
Currently, he sits as the third-ranked contender in both the featherweight kickboxing and Muay Thai divisions — a position he hopes to improve at ONE Friday Fights 92.
Standing in Sitthichai's way of another big win will be Shadow, a 24-year-old Thai prospect and former Rajadamnern Stadium champion. Overall, he is 78-13-2 in his career with his last three victories all coming in ONE Championship.
That includes a highlight-reel KO of Erik Heihr followed by back-to-back decision wins over Jimmy Vienot and Mohammad Siarsarani.
