Undefeated Russian striker Egor Bikrev (7-0) is happy to go above and beyond to ensure he gets his hand raised against 'The Angel Warrior' Panpayak Jitmuangnon inside the Lumpinee Stadium on ONE Friday Fights 92.
Their flyweight Muay Thai joust will be one of 12 striking contests lined up for ONE Championship's final Asian primetime showpiece of 2024 inside the Mecca of Muay Thai on Friday, December 20.
The City of Fighters and Kuzbass Muay Thai martial artist returns to the ring following his successful debut outing against Ginsanglek Wor Kumchamnarn this past November, where he utilized his potent striking arsenal to see off the local hero in one round.

Well knowing that Panpayak is a step up from the aforementioned athlete, he's prepared for all scenarios and whatever tricks 'The Angel Warrior' brings into the fight.
He had this to say during a virtual presser yesterday:
"I will do everything in my power to win in this fight and show everything that I've been training for."

Panpayak's veteran experience should come in handy vs Egor Bikrev's dynamite weapons
Panpayak made up for lost time to outwork Romanian heavy-hitter Silviu Vitez at ONE Friday Fights 83 a couple of months back.
'The Angel Warrior' banked on his savvy experience to emerge victorious that evening, and it should give him a trump card over Egor Bikrev again inside the Lumpinee Stadium this week.
The near-300 fight veteran has faced the who's who of Muay Thai over the past decade, and with Bikrev being more of a traditional Muay Mat operator, it could all come down to who brings the better technical style on December 20.
ONE Friday Fights 92 will be available live and for free on ONE Championship's YouTube channel, the ONE Super App, and watch.onefc.com.
