The 24-year-old Panpadej comes from a tribe in Chiang Mai and was bullied as a child before turning to Muay Thai at 12. He moved to Bangkok at 15 with a point to prove, quit during the pandemic, and has since gone 25-0 in his comeback. The run has established him as one of the most exciting fighters in the weekly series.
He heads into Friday fresh off a main event victory against Apiwat Sor Somnuk , looking to keep his momentum rolling against the most dangerous challenge of his career. Standing across from him is the 20-year-old Hussain, who arrives with a perfect 14-0 professional record and a winning streak that includes seven knockouts. Nicknamed “Bad,” the Leeds-born Kiatphontip product began training at 8 years old when his mother brought him to the gym.
He went on to claim the WBC Under-18 European National Championship, and has been on an unstoppable trajectory ever since. Hussain steps into the ring at ONE Friday Fights with a chance to make the biggest statement of his young career.
