This highly anticipated event is set to take place on June 27 at the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. Whether you're a seasoned fan or a newcomer to the sport, this card is not to be missed.
In a thrilling featherweight Muay Thai encounter, you will witness the debut of PTT Apichart Farm, a celebrated Thai striker. Known for his fierce competition and impressive skills, PTT will take on the extremely talented Elies Abdelali from France. PTT boasts an impressive record with nearly 150 professional fights under his belt, remaining undefeated since early 2023. This track record positions him as one of Thailand's top strikers yet to compete in ONE Championship.
Throughout his career, PTT has achieved victories over established ONE athletes like Alessio Malatesta, Fabio Reis, and Mohammad Siasarani. His transition to ONE Championship has fans buzzing with excitement. However, he faces a tough challenge against Abdelali, who is known for his powerful leg kicks and sharp striking combinations. The matchup promises intensity as both fighters step into the ring looking to make a statement.
In another thrilling matchup, the spotlight will shine on the 17-year-old sensation Younes Anane. As the younger brother of the current ONE Interim Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nabil Anane, Younes has already made a name for himself. He will go head-to-head with Liu Junchao from China in a strawweight Muay Thai showdown. This duel features two young strikers with immense potential and striking prowess.
Younes Anane has already captured the WBC Muay Thai World Championship, showcasing his extraordinary talent and knockout power. With his lengthy and athletic frame, he brings a unique style to the ring that has drawn comparisons to his older brother. Fans eagerly anticipate how he will perform on this stage against his opponent.
Meanwhile, Liu Junchao is also a rising star at just 20 years old. After a closely fought split decision loss in his promotional debut, Liu is eager to prove his capability in this high-level competition. His tenacity and well-rounded striking game suggest that he is more than ready to take on the hype surrounding Anane.
As Liu steps into the ring determined to bounce back, expect a fierce encounter as he faces Anane. The intensity and skill of both young fighters ensure that this matchup will be thrilling for fans and showcases the bright future of Muay Thai.
