Exciting Lineup Unveiled for ONE Friday Fights 159 on June 19

Mark your calendars for June 19, as this date promises to be a remarkable evening in the realm of ONE Championship. Kicking off the night, The Inner Circle 19 will feature two prestigious ONE World Title fights: Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom's quest to become a dual-sport champion against ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion Allycia Hellen Rodrigues, and Samet Agdeve defending his ONE Heavyweight Kickboxing World Championship against his longtime rival, Roman Kryklia. Following this, the spotlight will shift to ONE Friday Fights 159, set to unfold live during Asia’s prime time from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

The main event showcases Worapon Lukjaoporongtom facing Italy’s Lenny Blasi in a bantamweight Muay Thai clash, a match infused with significant implications. With the Lukjaoporongtom name resonating throughout the evening, Worapon enters the ring on a three-fight winning streak, eager to make his mark in a venue where he has previously headlined events. This fight represents a pivotal moment in his career as he aspires to secure a contract with ONE.

However, Blasi is not merely there to play a secondary role. The Italian fighter has a history of delivering thrilling performances and has previously upset highly regarded opponents in the ONE series. His knockout victory over Nonthakit Tor Morsri is still talked about among fans, and another impressive finish could bring him closer to a transformative contract with ONE.

In the co-main event, Xavier Gonzalez will take on Chatanan Sor Jor Joyprajin in a flyweight Muay Thai match that highlights the grit both fighters have exhibited to earn their spots in this competition. Gonzalez, who recently triumphed over Payaksurin JP Power at ONE Friday Fights 157, has made Thailand his home since 2019. He has dedicated himself to mastering Muay Thai, and at just 24 years old, he is determined to further his career with a coveted contract.

Facing him will be Chatanan, who has faced difficult challenges in the ring, including a recent loss to the upcoming contender for the vacant ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title, Aslamjon Ortikov. Despite this setback, Chatanan is eager to demonstrate that his tough battles have equipped him for this critical opportunity.
