24-year-old Ellis Badr Barboza has his first shot at ONE Championship gold on Friday, February 4. At ONE Fight Night 28 on Prime Video, Barboza challenges Prajanchai PK Saenchai for the ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Championship. It is a dream match for the Brit who has looked up to the Thai star since entering the sport.
“I’ve been following Prajanchai. Funny enough, I used to watch Prajanchai when I was in Dubai on the treadmill. I’d put his fights on and I would study and say, ‘Okay, one day I want to fight in ONE Championship and this is my division.
