Jonathan Di Bella, the interim strawweight kickboxing world champion, is preparing for his upcoming title‑unification bout against Prajanchai PK Saenchai. The 29‑year‑old Italian‑Canadian splits his training between New York, Canada and Miami, emphasizing the importance of high‑level sparring with top athletes. At Team Di Bella Kickboxing he works with a mix of experienced fighters and newcomers, believing that “iron sharpens iron.”
Recently, Di Bella had the opportunity to train with ONE lightweight Muay Thai world champion Regian Eersel. The two exchanged knowledge and refined their skills, and Di Bella says even a short sparring session with Eersel was highly beneficial, boosting his confidence for the fight. He stresses that constant improvement and learning from others—by surrounding himself with elite coaches and training partners—are key to staying ahead of the competition.
The unification match is set for October 3 at ONE Fight Night 36, held at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and will be streamed live on Prime Video for North American subscribers. As Di Bella approaches what could be the biggest fight of his career, his rigorous training regimen and experience will be tested against the reigning strawweight kickboxing kingpin. Fans are eagerly awaiting the bout, which promises to have significant implications for the strawweight division. With his strong preparation, Di Bella is poised to give Prajanchai PK Saenchai a formidable challenge.
