ONE Championship: Bantamweights Petchtanong, Ramazanov join well-stocked ONE 68 card

  • The June 28 event at Lumpinee Stadium will consist mainly of Muay Thai bouts and feature a card stacked with champions past and present

A bantamweight kickboxing bout between returning former champions Petchtanong Petchfergus and Alaverdi Ramazanov is just one of the many fights added to the ONE Friday Fights 68 card.

Both men are coming back from long periods of absence and will meet on June 28 at Lumpinee Stadium.

Petchtanong failed a drug test while Ramazanov was banned for jumping into the Lumpinee Stadium ring to challenge Muay Thai bantamweight champion Jonathan Haggerty.

Meanwhile, former Lumpinee middleweight champion Jimmy Vienot will face fan-favourite and reigning Rajadamnern welterweight champion Shadow Singha Mawynn in a featherweight fight.

Vienot is not the only French fighter on the card. Former Lumpinee welterweight champion Rafi Bohic has been booked to face Pakorn PK Saenchaigym, who has held titles at both Rajadamnern and Lumpinee but has not fought in Thailand in more than two years.

Kiamran Nabati will be looking to claim another Thai scalp by defeating Suablack Tor Pran49 for a second time.

The Russian bantamweight has already beaten Avatar Tor Morsri and Pongsiri PK Saenchaigym and appears to have won every fight as a professional.

Social media star Sibmuen Sitchefboontham has over two million subscribers on YouTube. He is still an active fighter and will be making his ONE Championship debut when he faces Australia’s Tyson Harrison in another bantamweight bout.

As previously announced, Prajanchai PK Saenchaigym faces Jonathan Di Bella in a main event that has the vacant bantamweight kickboxing belt on the line. The two were originally booked to face off at ONE Friday Fights 58 but the Canadian fell ill and was stripped of the title after failing to make the weight.

In the co-main event, reigning flyweight kickboxing champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 returns to Muay Thai and will face Kongthoranee Sor Sommai.

He will need to come through that bout unscathed to keep his appointment with reigning bantamweight champion Haggerty in September.
