The ancient boxing ring at Lumpinee Stadium will echo with the percussive poetry of violence this Friday evening, where a slew of encounters in the noble art of Muay Thai await those souls brave enough to witness the ballet of bruising at ONE Friday Fights 113.
Come June 20, when the Bangkok sun surrenders to neon and shadow, Channel 7HD will carry the proceedings live at half-past seven, broadcasting a collection of pugilistic dramas that would make even the gods of combat pause in admiration.
Legends Waltz With Destiny At ONE Friday Fights 113
The evening’s crown jewel presents itself as a flyweight Muay Thai confrontation between two practitioners whose very names whisper of violence barely contained.
Donking Yotharakmuaythai, a moniker that rolls off the tongue like thunder across distant hills, arrives riding the momentum of three consecutive victories, two of which concluded with the sudden finality that only knockout artists understand.
This 24-year-old destroyer from Ranong has been painting masterpieces with his fists and feet lately, most recently completing a first-round symphony of destruction against one Denpayak. His resume reads like a who’s who of the clinch game, including a notable triumph over the formidable Seksan Fairtex.
Across the squared canvas stands Yodlekpet Or Atchariya, a southpaw artist whose left hand has authored more sudden endings than a Victorian novelist.
At 30, this three-time Rajadamnern Stadium champion and former Lumpinee titleholder carries the weight of legend in his gloves. His record bears the signatures of victories over such luminaries as Rambo, Kulabdam, and Sangmanee — names that resonate through the hallowed halls of Muay Thai like church bells calling the faithful to prayer.
The man they call “The Destroyer” has not merely participated in ONE Championship — he has illuminated it, earning performance bonuses with the consistency of a Swiss timepiece and the artistry of a Renaissance master.
Youth Confronts Wisdom
In the featured supporting bout, geography and generations collide when Thailand’s seasoned Denphuthai welcomes Russia’s unblemished rising star, Asadula Imangazaliev, to the flyweight stage. Here lies a fascinating study in contrasts — experience versus exuberance, wisdom versus wonder.
Denphuthai, a 27-year-old orthodox practitioner from Udon Thani, trains alongside the incomparable Superlek Kiatmoo9 and carries himself with the quiet confidence of a man who has seen every trick the fight game offers.
His aggressive clinch work speaks fluent violence, though recent setbacks have left him thirsting for redemption like a man wandering in the desert seeks water.
The young Russian, merely 21 summers old, enters this theater of pain undefeated and dangerous, bearing the calling card of six knockouts that arrived with the suddenness of summer lightning.
His body kicks arrive with the velocity of bullets, his attacks as unpredictable as weather in April. In previous ONE Friday Fights appearances, he has collected bonus payments like a philatelist gathers rare stamps.
International Intrigue At ONE Friday Fights 113
The remainder of this pugilistic symphony features compelling international matchups that span continents and cultures.
Russia’s Alexey Balyko, a boxer whose fists carry the authority of judicial verdicts, squares off against Thailand’s Kongklai Sor Sommai, who owns the singular distinction of being the only man to render the legendary Seksan Or Kwanmuang unconscious while wearing big gloves — a feat roughly equivalent to stopping a freight train with harsh language.
From Brazil arrives Dionatha Santos Tobias, continuing his impressive Thai campaign against Sunday Boomdeksean in 118-pound warfare. The 25-year-old South American has been making converts of skeptics with knockout power that arrives like revelation and technical skills polished to mirror brightness.
A rematch of particular intrigue finds Decho Por Borirak seeking the sweet satisfaction of revenge against Isannuea ChotBangsaen in 130-pound combat, both men arriving with recent impressive performances trailing behind them like the wake of a ship.
