"I'm ready to face them both" - Aliff wants the winner of Prajanchai-Ellis Badr Barboza world title war at ONE Fight Night 28

Aliff Sor Dechapan doesn't want to wait too long for a shot at 26 pounds of gold. The Malaysian-Thai phenom says he's ready to face the winner of the ONE Fight Night 28 main event.

Two-sport world champion Prajanchai PK Saenchai goes to war with Ellis Badr Barboza in a defense of his strawweight Muay Thai world title inside the Lumpinee Stadium this Friday, Feb. 7.

And if he clears his own test in Bangkok, Thailand, this week - Russian slugger Shamil Adukhov - the Sor Dechapan athlete wants nothing more than a scrap against either name mentioned above.

In an interview with Bangkok Post's Nick Atkin, the 21-year-old shared his desire to contest for the promotion's coveted gold while hinting that Prajanchai should easily bag the triumph and maintain his status as a two-sport world champion.

Aliff shared:

"I want the championship belt, too. And I'm pretty confident that Prajanchai will win. But, whoever, it is, I'm ready to face them both."
