Prajanchai hopes to fight Takeru Segawa if he moves up to flyweight.
Over the past two years, Prajanchai has conquered the ONE strawweight striking divisions by becoming the Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion.
The Thai superstar has recently considered a new challenge by potentially moving up to flyweight. The higher weight class features various intriguing opponents for Prajanchai, including Rodtang, Superlek, Takeru, and Nong-O.
Prajanchai spoke to Sportskeeda in an exclusive interview and had this to say about wanting to fight Takeru:

"Moving up to flyweight, it's not for sure yet, but I'm just thinking that in the future. If there's an opportunity for me to face Takeru, I think that would be great because he's famous, he's a superstar. I think that would be really good for me."
Segawa's three-fight promotional tenure has been a rollercoaster of emotions for him and his fans. The former three-division K-1 champion started with a unanimous decision loss in an instant classic against Superlek.
The Japanese superstar bounced back in his sophomore appearance, defeating Thant Zin by second-round knockout.
Takeru last appeared on March 23, facing Rodtang in a non-title bout in the former's home country of Japan. 'Natural Born Krusher' suffered one of the worst losses of his fighting career, an 80-second knockout loss.
Takeru hasn't revealed any plans to retire, making Prajanchai a potential opponent for his return to the ONE flyweight kickboxing division.
Prajanchai destined for kickboxing rematch against Jonathan Di Bella
Prajanchai captured the ONE strawweight kickboxing world title with a unanimous decision win against Jonathan Di Bella in June 2024.
The Thai superstar has since returned to his Muay Thai throne with a successful title defense against Ellis Badr Barboza in February.
In the meantime, Di Bella defeated the legendary Sam-A by unanimous decision on March 23 to become the ONE interim strawweight title holder, setting up an inevitable rematch against Prajanchai.
Di Bella's only loss in ONE Championship was against Prajanchai. The Canadian-Italian striker's other promotional appearances featured wins against Zhang Peimian, Danial Williams, Rui Botelho, and Sam-A.
Prajanchai holds promotional records of 5-1 in Muay Thai, lone loss against Joseph Lasiri, and 2-0 in kickboxing.
