Petsukumvit Boi Bangna is ready to spring to action on short notice, as he reports for duty at ONE Friday Fights 114 this coming June 27.
The 27-year-old has agreed to step up for injured Panpayak Jitmuangnon and will now face Aslamjon Ortikov in a three-round flyweight Muay Thai battle inside Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Petsukumvit has never been afraid to weather adversity. After a red-hot 3-0 start at ONE Friday Fights, things went downhill for the Thai slugger, who dropped his next four straight contests.

The An Sukhumvit man, however, got his groove back with a stellar TKO victory over Silviu Vitez at ONE Friday Fights 111 earlier this month. Petsukumvit will look to ride that momentum in his quick turnaround against an undefeated prodigy.
Ortikov has remained perfect in 21 career fights, proving he is a force to be reckoned with in his unbeaten 7-0 run at ONE Friday Fights against some elite competition.
The 21-year-old Uzbek will look to add Petsukumvit to his long list of Thai victims. Apart from his well-rounded striking, Ortikov has proven to be wise beyond his years with his ability to adapt mid-fight.
