Prajanchai attained two-sport supremacy when he beat the 29-year-old via unanimous decision in June 2024. Di Bella insists he should have had his hand raised that night, and he’s eager to prove that in one of the most sought-after rematches of the year.

The Team Di Bella Kickboxing star has pulled out all the stops and has been bringing out the big guns in training. This includes ONE lightweight kickboxing world champion, Regian ‘The Immortal’ Eersel.

"This training camp has been hard. My dad's been putting me through a hard training session. He's been getting me hard sparring partners, like [Regian] Eersel, and other bigger and stronger pro boxers as well," he told ONE.

It was neck-and-neck for both elite warriors as the outcome was decided by the slimmest of margins.

The Team Di Bella Kickboxing representative told ONE:

"I feel like the first two rounds were all going my way. I feel like I won the first two rounds, and the last two, it kind of feels like he stole the last two rounds. But yeah, the fight was great. It was a great experience."

ONE Fight Night 36 will air live in U.S. primetime free for Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
