Jonathan Di Bella looks to make rematch against Prajanchai a short one
In trying to unify the ONE strawweight kickboxing championship belts, Jonathan Di Bella said he intends to make his rematch against Prajanchai at ONE Fight Night 36 a short one.
The interim champion made his intentions known in an interview with ONE Championship, saying:
"This fight can end any second, or it can end up going the five rounds, especially against Prajanchai. I know I'm going to win because I'm not going to make this a close fight. And that's all. I'm going to leave it at that."
Jonathan Di Bella has won back-to-back matches since losing to Prajanchai for the vacant ONE strawweight kickboxing world title in June 2024.
