Ellis Badr Barboza prepares to challenge Prajanchai for the ONE strawweight title, highlighting his inspiring journey.

Ellis Badr Barboza is poised to challenge two-sport titleholder Prajanchai PK Saenchai for the ONE strawweight Muay Thai world title this weekend.

As he prepares for this monumental fight at ONE Fight Night 28, Barboza has raised questions about Prajanchai`s motivation, suggesting that the Thai icon may lack the same hunger after achieving significant success in both Muay Thai and kickboxing. This intriguing narrative adds an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming bout, as fans eagerly await to see if Barboza can capitalize on any potential complacency from his opponent.
