ONE Championship’s new signing Capitan Petchyindee Academy wasted little time in announcing himself as he starched his opponent just six seconds into their Super Series kickboxing contest in Bangkok.
Capitan, 27, landed a lightning right-hand on opponent Petchtanong Petchfergus not long after the pair had touched gloves, setting what the promotion hailed as a record-quick KO for its Super Series.
Petchtanong, a six-time Muay Thai and Kickboxing World Champion, was able to walk away under his own steam after the devastating strike, while social media were soon praising a ‘KO of the year’ contender from Capitan.
The ONE Championship website reported that Capitan improved his career record to 141-40 with the win, suggesting that the three-time Muay Thai world champ could be set for a run at ONE bantamweight kickboxing king Alaverdi “Babyface Killer” Ramazanov, who hails from the Russian Republic of Dagestan.
