The biggest fight of Shadow Singha Mawynn's promising career will take place in the curtain closer of ONE Friday Fights 92 against a Thai living legend.
On Dec. 20, at the promotion's final event of 2024, the 24-year-old rising star will take on his compatriot Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong inside the fabled grounds of Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
While Shadow is nine years younger than the battle-hardened 'Killer Kid', he admits will still be a disadvantage in their three-round featherweight Muay Thai clash.

After all, the 33-year-old veteran already has 129 career wins to his name and his tools have only gotten sharper over time.
Shadow shared in an exclusive interview with ONE Championship:
“Sitthichai’s most fearsome weapon is probably his left kick. I have to be careful of his left kick and left punch. And also his vast experience because he is a veteran.”
Sitthichai proved he has a lot more left in the tank after slowing down Japanese star Masaaki Noiri's hype train in his promotional debut at ONE 167 last June.
Shadow says winning a $100,000 ONE contract will be the perfect holiday gift
After dropping his promotional debut last February, the resilient Shadow persevered and won his next three outings in the ONE Friday Fights series.
If he emerges victorious against the No. 3-ranked contender Sitthichai, the Singha Mawynn product expects to get the invite to join the world's largest martial arts organization's main roster. He told ONE:
"Most importantly, I might get a ONE contract in this fight. A six-figure ONE Championship contract would be the best New Year's gift of my life."
