On January 28th, the "ONE: Invincible" large-scale fighting event organized by the International Sports IP-ONE Championships will beat the drums of war. The luxury of the lineup of this event can be called the highest at the beginning of 2022, in addition to Tang Kai, Zhang Lipeng, Wang Shuo, three Chinese players joining hands to attack, the semi-final of the Featherweight Kickboxing World Eight, which has attracted the attention of Chinese boxing fans, is also about to be staged.
In the semi-finals, Marat Grigorian will play against Chingiz Allazov and Sittichai Sitsongpeenong will face Davit Kiria. The winner of the four players will compete in the division final for the eight-man championship and the featherweight world championship.
Each of the eight-players is one of the world's top players, but only Sittychai is the king who has completely ruled the "Golden Level", and is the only fighter in the world who can match George Petosio in terms of past achievements.
In recent years, however, Sitich has suffered frequent setbacks. He lost points in his fifth match against Marat, then signed for one championship and then lost on his debut to his old rival, now the featherweight world champion Superbon Banchamek.
In addition, Sitchai defeated two opponents, Tawanchai and Tayfun zcan, in the ONE Championship, but also won by disagreement. Such a performance is far from the previous king who ruled the world at the level of gold, and Sidiko's current state is also questioned by the outside world.
The Bearded Killer Chilia is also an old rival of Sitchai, and they have had two previous duels, and the result is that Sittychai has won. But the most recent duel between the two was 6 years ago, and the subsequent Kilia won the Kunlun Decisive World Championship, and he is not the same as he was then.
In the quarter-finals of the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Eight, Kilia faced former K-1 MAX world champion Enriko Kehl at close range, knocking down opponent TKO three times in the first leg to win, in stark contrast to Sitchai's tough victory over Taifan.
