ONE Friday Fights 92: Panpayak says knockout against Egor Bikrev will come down to "chance and luck"

Panpayak Jitmuangnon admits he wouldn't think twice if the opportunity to knock out Egor Bikrev presents itself. However, 'The Angel Warrior' says that will largely be determined by his lucky stars.

The Jitmuangnon Gym martial artist and the undefeated Russian slugger go to war in a flyweight Muay Thai contest at ONE Friday Fights 92, which emanates live from the Lumpinee Stadium on Dec. 20.

As a fighter who's banked on his concussive knockout power to orchestrate some of the best knockouts of his career, the 28-year-old hopes his go-to tool will allow him to add to his gallery of highlights. But per Panpayak, Bikrev's style might make it harder for him to do what he does best on fight night in Bangkok, Thailand.

The multi-time Lumpinee and Rajadamnern Stadium world champion told ONE Championship:

"If I have the chance, I will knock him out, but it's all about chance and luck. I think he will come at me and start throwing punches at me."

Panpayak vs Bikrev will be one of 12 Muay Thai and kickboxing cards set to take place on the promotion's final ONE Friday Fights showcase this Friday, Dec. 20.

The striking-only spectacle will be topped by a must-watch featherweight Muay Thai war between Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong and Shadow Singha Mawynn.

Panpayak confident he can pull one back vs two-sport king Superlek Kiatmoo9

A victory for Panpayak will massively help in his bid to go toe-to-toe with Superlek Kiatmoo9 again.

The 28-year-old and Superlek go a long way back, with the pair crossing paths eight times throughout their career.

Though he holds four wins over 'The Kicking Machine,' the reigning two-sport ONE world champion has cut down his foe's lead with two majestic wins in ONE Championship.

Still, he remains certain that with more game time, he could flip the script and be the man to end the Kiatmoo9 Gym athlete's lengthy winning run in the promotion.

In the same interview with ONE, he added:

“I’m not at my best right now, but I’m confident that we’ll meet again in the future. I think I’ll be Superlek’s toughest opponent if I can get back into my best form.”
