One of the Middle East\u2019s best Muay Thai prospects will return to the ONE Championship ring next week as he looks to avenge his brother.
\nIraq\u2019s Shakir Al-Tekreeti impressed in scoring a unanimous decision win over French standout Bampara Kouyate in October, and is now looking to further enhance his lightweight division credentials.
\nWith a dream of one day becoming the ONE Muay Thai lightweight champion, the 27-year-old will face something of a revenge mission when he enters the ring at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Bangkok next weekend.
\nHis opponent Rungrawee defeated Shaikir\u2019s brother Mustafa Al Tekreeti on debut in February last year, before going on to build a three-fight win streak. This was derailed last time out when he was knocked out by Russia\u2019s Dmitry Menshikov.
\nRespected and renowned worldwide Rungrawee is known as a vicious striker and will be keen to get back in the win column against Al-Tekreeti in a bout that will have serious implications at the top end of the division.
\nONE Fight Night 16 comes live from the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Thailand on Saturday January 13. Fight fans in the MENA region can watch action BeINSPORTS from 3.00am MECCA, or on watch.onefc.com
