"I am going to give it my all" - Egor Bikrev says he knows blueprint to beating Panpayak

22-year-old Egor Bikrev wants to etch his name in the minds of ONE Championship fans by putting together strong outings against established veterans. His latest opportunity will happen against Panpayak Jitmuangnon at ONE Friday Fights 92 on Friday, Dec. 20.

During the virtual press conference for ONE's final card of 2024, Bikrev was asked what his biggest strengths were heading into their flyweight Muay Thai bout and how he plans to defeat 'The Angel Warrior'.

The City of Fighters and Kuzbass Muay Thai product shared:

"It's an interesting question. But I'm definitely not going to share all my secrets and keys to victory in this conversation. However, I am going to give it my all, giving it a hundred percent."

Watch the press conference below:

Bikrev made his promotional debut this past November when he claimed a first-round TKO of Gingsanglek Wor Kumchamnarn by landing a massive right hand to his chin.

While he will likely be gunning for the same result against Panpayak, the Russian standout cannot afford to take uncalculated risks lest he fall victim to the Thai star's renowned combinations.

How Egor Bikrev and Panpayak's Muay Thai bout might play out

Expected to be one of the most action-packed encounters of ONE Friday Fights 92 inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, Egor Bikrev and Panpayak are set to bank on their high-pressure styles to claim the win.

Panpayak is coming off a unanimous decision triumph over Silviu Vitez this past October following a two-year layoff. Despite the win, the Thai hero's energy levels appeared to taper off in the latter half of the fight — possibly due to ring rust.

Should a repeat play out in his Muay Thai bout with Bikrev, Panpayak could get caught with his younger opponent's knockout power.
