Third-ranked ONE featherweight kickboxing competitor Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong never turns down an opportunity to throw down. He will go toe-to-toe with rising star Shadow Singha Mawynn at ONE Friday Fights 92 on Friday, Dec. 20. The event will take place inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Speaking exclusively with ONE, 'Killer Kid' shared his reasons for accepting the fight:
"I decided to accept this fight because I want to prove myself against a rising star. I want to prove that I have maintained my skills. It's a big challenge, so I decided to accept the fight offer."

Sitthichai, one of the most decorated fighters to come out of Thailand, has found tremendous success since making his promotional debut in July 2020. Including his three-round domination of Masaaki Noiri this past June, he currently owns six wins in ONE.
However, Shadow is riding a wave of momentum heading into his featherweight Muay Thai bout with the Sitsongpeenong Muay Thai Camp affiliate by winning his last three outings, which began with a third-round TKO of Sweden's Erik Hehir in April at ONE Friday Fights 58.
