Sitthichai Meets Allazov In Final Of ONE Featherweight Kickboxing Grand Prix

22 March 2022

Sitthichai “Killer Kid” Sitsongpeenong will meet Chingiz “Chinga” Allazov in the final of the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing Grand Prix Championship on Saturday, 26 March, at ONE X inside the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Both men have walked a long road to get to this point, with Sitthichai defeating Davit Kiria and Tayfun Ozcan by decision, and Allazov beating both Samy Sana and Jo Nattawut by knockout. Allazov’s performance against Nattawut earned him a US$50,000 bonus, and his KO power is a genuine threat to his opponent, who has yet to be put to sleep.

Sitthichai already has one decision win against his Georgian competitor, but in the eight years that have passed since then, he will be facing a completely evolved athlete. Following that loss, Allazov went on a 28-fight winning streak, until he faced Giorgio Petrosyan in 2018.

On the other hand, Allazov will be facing an undoubtedly dangerous foe in the Thai, who is an accomplished multiple-time kickboxing and Muay Thai world world champion. “Killer Kid” has more than 160 fights in his pocket, and he holds an incredible 78 percent win rate, with 39 knockouts.

The winner of this bout is expected to get an opportunity to compete for the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Championship later this year. The title is currently held by Superbon Singha Mawyn, who earned the gold with a spectacular knockout against Giorgio “The Doctor” Petrosyan.
