Petpattaya Tests His Strength Against Julius in The Inner Circle Battle This Friday, June 26

ONE Championship ramps up excitement for The Inner Circle on Friday, June 26, at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium (Ramintra), with 28-year-old Petpattaya Abhichaatfarm facing 31-year-old Brazilian Muay Thai champion Julius Lobo under Thai boxing rules in the bantamweight division (135-145 lbs). The live stream is exclusive to members on Live.ONEFC.com from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Both fighters are in peak form following consecutive victories, with matching strength and physique—evenly matched in every way. This card promises all-out action as both competitors seek to earn points and create a path toward future ONE contracts, guaranteeing an exciting showdown.

Petpattaya has consistently developed his boxing skills since his program debut loss, now riding a three-fight winning streak. Most recently, he delivered a devastating elbow knockout of American Aryan Esparza in the third round at ONE Lumpinee 147 in March, claiming a 350,000-baht bonus.

For this fight, Petpattaya drops down to full bantamweight and plans to showcase aggressive striking to overcome Julius's strength, aiming for a fourth consecutive victory and a ONE contract. Meanwhile, Julius, a formidable foreign fighter and small-ring championship holder, returns after nearly two years away with impressive form. He recently won by unanimous decision against hot prospect Werapol Lukjaodomphoktoom at ONE Lumpinee 135 in November, followed by a stunning third-round knockout of Kong Glai S. Sommai at ONE Lumpinee 152 in May. Julius aims for a third consecutive win to pursue his own ONE contract, testing Petpattaya's granite chin.
