“My confidence is unwavering," he told INN Sports. "I receive overwhelming support. It all depends on my strategy and execution in the ring to secure victory.”
It will be Prajanchai's first time competing since scoring a unanimous decision victory over Jonathan Di Bella at ONE Friday Fights 68 to claim the ONE strawweight kickboxing crown.
Prajanchai issues a dire warning to Ellis Badr Barboza ahead of ONE Fight Night 28
Defending his ONE strawweight Muay Thai world title for the first time, Prajanchai knows that he's in for a tough test against the heavy-hitting Ellis Badr Barboza. Still, the Thai is more than confident that his weapons will prove to be even more dangerous and much more effective come fight night.
“Barboza’s strength is his punches, punches to the body," he told ONE. "Those are scary. But Ellis, don’t forget that your fists are covered by the gloves, while my elbows are bare. Let’s see who will perform better.”
Barboza goes into his first ONE world title opportunity with back-to-back wins inside the Circle, including a highlight-reel finish against Thongpoon and a decision victory over Aliff Sor Dechapan in his last outing at ONE Fight Night 23.
