Muay Thai rising star Shadow Singha Mawynn captured the biggest victory of his career yet when he stunned two-sport ONE Championship star Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong in the main event of ONE Friday Fights 92 on Friday, Dec. 20.
During the ONE Friday Fights 92 post-event press conference, Shadow gave insight into what the win means to him and what his long-term career goal is:
"I just hope I could be an inspiration and a role model for the younger people, that you can just do sport and not be involved in other things like drugs or any other things. I want people to pick up this hobby and this could be a career as well. So I just want to show the young people that it is possible."

After Sitthichai's hot start, Shadow knew he had to switch things up as the fight progressed. The Singha Mawynn product did just that. He dropped the third-ranked ONE featherweight Muay Thai and kickboxing contender late in the third round to ultimately secure the unanimous decision victory.
