Iraqi Muay Thai ace Mustafa Al Tekreeti goes in search of his first ONE Championship win this week at Friday Fights 43.
In October he won gold at the World Combat Games in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in the under-81kg elite Muay Thai class, and now returns to ONE looking to establish himself in the lightweight ranks.
He debuted with the organisation back in February, when he suffered a points defeat to Rungrawee Sitsongpeenong, but is now back and looking for redemption.
His opponent at the famed Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand will be Chanajon PK Saenchai. An experienced 35-year-old from the renowned PK Saenchai gym who has gone 3-0 in ONE since making his debut in May.
It will be another tough test for 27-year old Tekreeti, but he will be buoyed by his WCG win and keen to show his credentials on the biggest martial arts stage in the world.
ONE Friday Fights 43 comes live from the famous Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Bangkok on Friday December 1. Fight fans in the MENA region can watch the first half of the card on BeINSPORTS from 3.30pm MECCA.
