ONE Championship's best strikers are set to descend upon the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on June 28 with ONE Friday Fights 68. It will be headlined by Prajanchai PK Saenchai and Jonathan Di Bella fighting over the vacant ONE strawweight kickboxing world championship.
Originally scheduled to share the circle at ONE Friday Fights 58 last April 5, their bout was ultimately shelved after Di Bella failed to pass hydration. That also led to him being stripped of the strawweight kickboxing world title.
Fans have been wanting to see this fight go down and shared their thoughts on a recent Instagram post by ONE.
