Petkhaokradong Lukjaomaesaithong will now headline opposite Ali Kelat at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on December 12. The lightweight Muay Thai clash replaces Panpayak’s scheduled flyweight kickboxing fight against Zhao Chongyang.
The 20-year-old Thai striker is gaining momentum after his most recent performance. Petkhaokradong bounced back from a brutal first-round knockout loss in his promotional debut by unleashing a huge left punch to stop Ayoub El Khadraoui in 53 seconds at ONE Friday Fights 133.
That explosive comeback performance immediately transformed him into a promising talent worth watching. His promotional debut against former ONE world bantamweight kickboxing champion Alaverdi Ramazanov at ONE Friday Fights 124 ended in disaster. But the quick victory proved he could handle adversity.
Ali Kelat brings dangerous finishing ability into the main event spotlight
Ali Kelat arrives in the main event with serious qualifications. The Turkish star made his promotional debut at ONE Friday Fights 121 in August, overwhelming Russian Michael Baranov with relentless pressure and booming punches to score a second-round TKO.
Kelat is on an 11-fight winning streak, highlighted by eight knockouts in Friday’s showdown. The 26-year-old Turkish national champion combines solid boxing fundamentals with dangerous flying knees that suddenly end fights.
Both fighters previously competed at featherweight, but are now looking to gain territory in ONE’s lightweight Muay Thai division. A win in Friday’s main event would significantly accelerate that climb for both men.
