Sitthichai told seasoned journalist Nick Atkin in a recent interview that it all depends on the promotion whether he competes in a Muay Thai or kickboxing match, as long as there is an offer for him, as he said:

"I want to do both Muay Thai and kickboxing. So it all depends on the opportunity. If I were given an opportunity, I don't want to turn that down. Also, I just want to, you know, whatever that was given to me, I would just accept it."

According to the 33-year-old veteran contender, he must be cautious of the knockout power that Carrilo possesses if he wants to avoid being sent to the shadow realms, as he explained:

"Carrillo's strength is his destructive power. His left and right hooks are deadly, plus with small gloves, I can't make any mistakes or I'll go to sleep."

North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription can watch ONE Fight Night 30 live in U.S. primetime this Friday, April 4.
