The 30-year-old said:
"I don't think I'm number one in kickboxing right now, and I don't think I'm number one in Muay Thai either. For me, there's no such thing as being number one forever. You have to keep improving yourself, or you can't keep your position as number one."
Prajanchai will defend his ONE strawweight Muay Thai world title against Barboza in the main event of ONE Fight Night 28: Prajanchai vs. Barboza on Prime Video, which will broadcast live in U.S. primetime this Friday, February 7, from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action live and absolutely free with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
