Canadian kickboxer Jonathan Di Bella has unfinished business Friday when he takes on Thailand's Prajanchai PK Saenchai at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.
The 29-year-old from Montreal lost a unanimous decision to Prajanchai in June 2024 at the same venue for the One Championship strawweight kickboxing world title. It remains Di Bella's only professional loss and the decision did not sit well.
"As soon as the (final) bell rang, I believed I had won the fight," Di Bella said. "Even after that, we watched the fight again — me and my team, me and my dad — and we all believed I won the fight."
Still Di Bella was gracious in defeat, congratulating Prajanchai, who came into the bout holding One's strawweight Muay Thai world title.
"Lose or win, you've always got to be respectful," Di Bella said.
