The PK Saenchai Muay Thai Gym representative said:
"I’m immensely proud of my two world titles in different rule sets. I’ll strive to retain them for as long as possible, alongside the Thai people."
Prajanchai is one of the most decorated and celebrated world champions in the world's largest martial arts organization. Against Barboza, however, the 30-year-old double champ feels he needs to proceed with caution, as the United Kingdom fighter possesses devastating power.
