Jonathan Di Bella is out to reclaim his ONE strawweight kickboxing world championship in the main event of ONE Friday Fights 68.
The Canadian-Italian striker has been incredibly impressive during his previous performances under the ONE Championship banner.
However, undoubtedly, his next test is a step up in competition as he faces the strawweight Muay Thai champ Prajanchai PK Saenchai.
The two men were set to meet earlier this year until in unfortunate circumstances, Di Bella became ill on fight week, failed to pass his hydration test, and was stripped of the kickboxing belt.

In an interview with Sportskeeda MMA, strawweight MMA contender Lito Adiwang gave his prediction for the fight.
He believes that Di Bella will be able to play to his strengths in order to reclaim his crown and earn the biggest win of his career to date:
"[Jonathan] Di Bella vs. Prajanchai is an exciting fight. I'm excited to watch this and see whose style will prevail. But given that this is a kickboxing match and they are using big gloves, I will give this to Di Bella."
Adiwang continued, speaking more on how Di Bella will be able to get his hand raised in the main event:
"He'd use his height and long reach to his advantage and the way he throws his combinations will give Prajanchai a big problem."
Beating Prajanchai would be huge for Jonathan Di Bella
Not only would a win in the main event on June 28 see Jonathan Di Bella take back the ONE strawweight kickboxing world championship, it can't be understated how big of a win it would be.
Prajanchai is a striker that is one of the best of the best and he's proven that time and time again under the ONE Championship banner.
For Di Bella to bounce back from adversity, defeat his opponent, and stand tall as the world champion would be a career highlight for him.
