Current ONE strawweight Muay Thai world champion Prajanchai PK Saenchai is well aware of Jonathan Di Bella's flaws — just don't expect him to reveal them ahead of fight night.

After their originally scheduled clash in April was scrapped at the last minute, the two combat sports stars will square off inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium on Friday, June 28, at ONE Friday Fights 68.

There, Prajanchai will look to become a two-sport king when he challenges the Canadian-Italian for the vacant ONE strawweight kickboxing crown.

Speaking with ONE Championship ahead of their highly anticipated title tilt inside the 'Mecca of Muay Thai', the Thai revealed that he already has a beat on Jonathan Di Bella's biggest weaknesses in the fight game.

But he's choosing to stay tight-lipped about his discovery until he finally steps inside the circle with the former ONE world champion:

"I know his weaknesses, but I won’t reveal them to you,” he said.

Prajanchai says Jonathan Di Bella "lost to himself" after being stripped on the scale

While the PK Saenchai man seeks two-sport supremacy at ONE Friday Fights 68, Jonathan Dil Bella will look to reclaim the 26 pounds of gold he never lost.

Set to defend his title at ONE Friday Fights 58 earlier this year, Di Bella failed to make weight and hydration for his originally scheduled clash with Prajanchai.

As a result, Di Bella was stripped of the strawweight kickboxing title. A little more than two months later, he'll have the chance to redeem himself and once again become a world champion.

Of course, that will be much easier said than done as Di Bella faces a heap of mounting pressure and one of the hottest acts in all of combat sports:

"I think Jonathan will feel more pressure than me because he used to say that he stands at the top," Prajanchai added. "I replied that it would hurt more if you fall. I think he realized what I meant from the last time. He didn't lose to me, he lost to himself, and he just fell from the top."
