Panpayak Jitmuangnon: "The Angel Warrior" Defends His Kickboxing Reign
In the main event, the acclaimed "Angel Warrior" Panpayak Jitmuangnon is set to defend his unblemished kickboxing record against Lamnamoonlek Torfunfarm in a flyweight kickboxing bout. Panpayak, a seven-time Muay Thai World Champion and a three-time Fighter of the Year in Thailand, has seamlessly transitioned to kickboxing, accumulating an impressive 4-0 record under ONE Championship rules. His recent victories include a split-decision win over Othman Rhouni and a unanimous decision against Anuar Cisneros. Known for his precise techniques, strategic patience, and devastating left kick, Panpayak aims to continue his dominant run. His opponent, Lamnamoonlek Torfunfarm, a WMC World Champion from the renowned TDed99 Gym, joined ONE Championship with significant buzz, securing one Muay Thai and two kickboxing victories before a recent setback against Yuan Pengjie. Lamnamoonlek is eager to reclaim his winning momentum and prove his elite status against a legend.
Kongthoranee Sor Sommai Enters Kickboxing Realm Against Surging Yuan Pengjie
The co-main event features a compelling clash as three-time Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion Kongthoranee Sor Sommai makes his kickboxing debut against the formidable Chinese sensation Yuan Pengjie in another flyweight contest. Kongthoranee's journey in ONE's Muay Thai division has been marked by both triumphs and challenges. After earning his contract with a victory over Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi and stunningly defeating the legendary Nong-O Hama, he faced a series of tough losses. These included a rematch defeat to Nong-O, a close decision loss to Aslamjon Ortikov, and a knockout by Asadula Imangazaliev, followed by a third defeat to Nong-O. Now, the 29-year-old hopes to revitalize his career by venturing into kickboxing. Yuan Pengjie, standing in his way, enters the bout with back-to-back promotional victories over Lamnamoonlek Torfunfarm and Jaosuayai, establishing himself as one of kickboxing's most promising young talents. A win for Kongthoranee would be a significant statement in his new sport, while a victory for Yuan could pave his path to a coveted US$100,000 contract and a global roster spot.
