A must-watch clash between one of Muay Thai’s fastest-rising stars and one of its most decorated veterans is heading to ONE Friday Fights 114.
On June 27 in Asia primetime, undefeated prodigy Aslamjon Ortikov will square off with former seven-time Muay Thai World Champion “The Angel Warrior” Panpayak Jitmuangnon in a pivotal flyweight bout at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
At just 22 years old, Ortikov has the makings of a potential future World Champion. The hard-hitting striker from Uzbekistan boasts an impressive 21-0 professional record that includes seven straight wins at ONE Friday Fights.
He will enter this contest fresh off a dazzling decision victory over fellow rising star Dedduanglek Wankhongohm MBK, marking the biggest victory of his young career.
Ortikov could be on the verge of earning a six-figure main roster contract with ONE Championship, but he will face a serious step up in competition when he tests his fast-paced, finish-oriented style against one of Thailand’s most technical strikers.
A former Lumpinee and Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion with nearly 300 professional fights on his resume, Panpayak represents the pinnacle of the striking arts.
After a two-year hiatus from competition, he returned to ONE in late 2024 and has since gone 2-1 in the world’s largest martial arts organization.
In his last outing, the 29-year-old’s precise striking and expert timing were on full display as he picked up a sensational third-round stoppage against Iran’s Majid Seydali at ONE Friday Fights 100.
“The Angel Warrior” now hopes to derail his foe’s hype train and prove that he still belongs among the best strikers in the flyweight Muay Thai division.
Ortikov, meanwhile, aims to score a career-defining victory and complete his quest for a ONE Championship contract.
