Jonathan Di Bella explained the significance of his upcoming world title fight against Prajanchai PK Saenchai. In April, Di Bella was scheduled to defend his ONE strawweight kickboxing world title against ONE strawweight Muay Thai world champion Prajanchai.
Unfortunately, the undefeated Italian-Canadian failed to pass hydration for ONE Friday Fights 58, forcing the promotion to strip him of his throne.
Di Bella was later rushed to the hospital after falling sick, leading to his fight against Prajanchai being canceled. On Friday, June 28, the world-class strawweight strikers will finally meet in the ONE Friday Fights 68 main event for the vacant ONE strawweight kickboxing world title.
During an interview with BolaSport, Di Bella had this to say about his upcoming matchup against Prjanchai being "a legendary fight" for him:
