ONE Fight Night 28: what sets Muay Thai, kickboxing champion Prajanchai PK Saenchai apart
One of the sport’s living legends attributes one factor to all his success, as he prepares to defend one of his crowns against Ellis Barboza
Prajanchai PK Saenchai is a name synonymous with excellence in the world of Muay Thai and kickboxing.
But as the reigning ONE Championship strawweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion prepares for ONE Fight Night 28 in Bangkok, it is not just his physical prowess that sets him apart – it is also his mindset.
With a career spanning more than 400 bouts across various disciplines, Prajanchai is one of the sport’s living legends. His accolades speak for themselves: a two-time Lumpinee Stadium champion, three-time Rajadamnern Stadium champion across four divisions, and holder of multiple prestigious titles.
He is also 3-0 in boxing.
“I think the fact that I’ve been versatile enough throughout my career has been my strength,” he told the Post ahead of the defence of his Muay Thai strap against Ellis Barboza. “I’ve boxed, kicked and adapted to every fight. It’s not just about the wins, but about how you approach each fight and the process behind it.”
Prajanchai’s adaptability in the ring is something few can match. His versatility has allowed him to dominate across multiple weight classes. Yet, he credits his longevity to discipline in training.
