An electric bantamweight Muay Thai battle between PTT Apichart Farm and Julio Lobo will be part of The Inner Circle on June 26 in Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium.
The two striking specialists bring winning momentum into this contest, and another massive triumph for either man could position themselves for a shot at Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon’s ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title.
ONE Championship revealed this scheduled three-round Asia primetime matchup on its official Instagram account (@onechampionship) this past Sunday, May 31.
PTT, who fights out of Team Mehdi Zatout, has built a three-fight winning run, which has showcased every bit of his world-class arsenal.

He has not looked back since falling to Elies Abdelali via split decision in his promotional bow. In his sophomore outing, the 28-year-old outvolumed Italian ace Alessio Malatesta via split decision.
PTT followed up with another strong three-round display against ‘Left Meteorite’ Ratchasiesan Laochokcharoen in December 2025.
Most recently, the Pattaya-based martial artist authored a third-round knockout of American standout Arian Esparza at The Inner Circle on March 20. He dropped his foe thrice, the last coming via a spinning back elbow, to seal the deal at the 2:01 mark of the frame.
PTT can expect to be tested to the limit against Julio Lobo
While PTT may be the favorite in this bantamweight Muay Thai tiff, Julio Lobo is not one to be underestimated.
The Brazilian slugger returns to the global stage of ONE Championship seeking a third straight victory.
After going 1-2 in his first three promotional appearances, the Phuket Fight Club warrior and stablemate of reigning ONE world champions Allycia Hellen Rodrigues and Stella Hemetsberger has taken home two wins in succession.
At ONE Friday Fights 135 in November 2025, Lobo earned a unanimous decision over Thai powerhouse Worapon Lukjaoporongtom. This past May, the 31-year-old extended his streak with a fine three-round showing against Kongklai Sor Sommai.
Both fighters thrive in firefights. PTT has the knockout power and the skills to see off Julio Lobo, but the Brazilian is equally dangerous in the pocket and has match-ending power and IQ to counter the Thai’s traps.
