Jamal Yusupov is preparing himself for war this Friday night at ONE Fight Night 7 on Prime Video.

The No. 2-ranked contender will be the first man to challenge newly crowned ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK.Saenchai and he plans to make the most of his opportunity.

Speaking in a pre-fight interview, ‘Yeniceri’ shared his desire to give the fans at the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium a show in their co-main event clash:

“I just want to tell him to get ready and be prepared to do the maximum. Because I want to show a spectacular fight in this event.”

Though Jamal Yusupov hasn’t been the most active fighter in ONE Championship, he has made the most of every appearance he’s made inside the circle. ‘Yeniceri’ is undefeated under the ONE banner with three straight wins, which is something he has in common with his ONE Fight Night 7 opposition.

Fresh off his ONE world title victory and a performance worthy of being named ONE Championship’s Muay Thai Fighter of the Year, Tawanchai will look to carry his 2022 momentum into the new year by handing the Turkish veteran his first defeat in ONE.

Fans in North America can watch the highly anticipated Muay Thai clash live and for free with an Amazon Prime Video subscription in U.S. primetime this Friday night.


Tawanchai is ready to show off his improved skills against Jamal Yusupov

Tawanchai PK.Saenchai is coming off the biggest year of his combat sports career. Rattling off three straight wins inside the circle, the Muay Thai star capped it off by winning a ONE world championship in spectacular fashion at ONE 161 in September.

Despite riding high, Tawanchai is always looking to improve himself in any way possible:

“Since I joined ONE, I’ve been working hard on myself,” Tawanchai told the promotion. “I know which parts of me need change. I’ve identified my strengths and what the fans like, then adjusted accordingly. I’d do anything to improve myself, to fill in any hole I may have.”

Tawanchai will once again look to show off his improved skillset on combat sports’ biggest stage against a dangerous Turkish striker in Jamal Yusupov.

Will Tawanchai’s reign over the featherweight division continue or will Yusupov cut the Thai warrior’s ONE world title run short? Fans will find out this Friday night.
