Two huge Muay Thai showdowns have been added to ONE Fight Night 22 on Prime Video.
Chief among them is ONE Women’s Strawweight Muay Thai World Champion Smilla Sundell’s latest title defense. She faces Russian knockout artist Natalia Diachkova at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on May 3.
ONE made the big reveal across its social media platforms this week.
“The ladies are STORMING IN on May 3. Don’t miss any of the action as ONE Women’s Strawweight Muay Thai World Champion Smilla Sundell defends her crown against red-hot KO artist Natalia Diachkova at ONE Fight Night 22 on Prime Video,” the caption read on Instagram.

Diachkova could be the 19-year-old Swedish superstar’s toughest test to date.
“Karelian Lynx” has recorded first-round knockouts in three of her four wins during a near-flawless start to her ONE career. Now, Diachkova has the chance to put her name in the light if she can become the first ONE fighter to topple Sundell.
ONE Fight Night 22 gets another strawweight Muay Thai banger
Thongpoon PK Saenchai and Zakaria El Jamari will throw down in a strawweight Muay Thai contest at ONE Fight Night 22 on Prime Video, the promotion also announced.
“ONE Fight Night 22 is about to get LIT as Thailand’s Thongpoon and Morocco’s Zakaria El Jamari take the stage on May 3 in a strawweight Muay Thai showdown,” the caption read.

Thongpoon has been a firm fan favorite since earning a $100,000 contract with ONE after a thrilling three-fight run on the ONE Friday Fights platform.
Representing the star-studded PK Saenchai Muaythaigym, the Thai standout rebounded from defeat in his full debut with a crushing one-round demolition of Timur Chuikov in his most recent outing this past February.
El Jamari, on the other hand, will be desperate to make his mark. The Moroccan fell to defeat on debut at ONE 166: Qatar last month, and he’ll be fired up for this one as he hopes to bring his form from the local circuit to the global stage at his second promotional outing.
