One of Thailand’s most decorated strikers is set for his highly anticipa𒐪ted return to the world’s largest martial arts organization 🙈on October 18 at .
will square off with Romanian standout in an explosive🧸 flyweight Muay Th🦂ai matchup that airs live in Asia primetime from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
A former Lumpinee and Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion, Panpayak boasts a 4-2 record in ONE, with his o🌱n🅘ly losses coming against current two-sport ONE World Champion and top pound-for-pound striker .
Revered as a master techniciaꦕn with big power in his punches and kicks, the 28-year-old hasn’t competed since suffering a tight split-decision loss to Superlek in December 2022 in which he gave “The Kicking Machine” one of his hardest fights yet.
“The Angel Warrior” is undoubtedly hungry to restart his climbꦦ toward the gold, but he’ll first have to get past the 30-year-old Vitez.
“Hitman” has long been regarded as one of Europe’s top talents, employing his fast-paced, aggressive style of striking to earn titles outside of ONE ꦡin both kickboxing and Muay Thai.
Despite those accolades, the Romanian scrapper will come into this contest with his back against the wall following back-to-bꩲack losses at the ONE Friday Fights event series.
For Vitez, a victory over a ma𒉰jor star like Panpayak would est🔯ablish him as a legitimate threat on the global scene – and would certainly garner him legions of new fans.
“The Angel Warrior,”༒ meanwhile, is eager to remind fans just how dange🐼rous he can be on the world’s biggest stage.
Given each athlete’s well-rounded striking skills and willingness to push a torrid pace, their clash at ONE Friday Fights 83 has all the m▨akings of an action-packed barnburner.
