ONE bantamweight Muay Thai standout Worapon Lukjaoporongtom of Thailand has done his homework on Lenny Blasi and has prepared accordingly.
Worapon faces the Italian in the main event of The Inner Circle 28 on Friday, August 28, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.
He enters on a three-fight winning streak that includes a head kick knockout of Soe Lin Oo, a first-round stoppage of Arthur “Codjoe” Brossier, and a unanimous decision over Tom “No Time” Casse.
The 23-year-old Sor Dechapan southpaw has accumulated more ONE Championship ring time than most fighters his age. For Worapon, that experience gives him a clear-eyed read on what Blasi brings to the table.

He told ONE Championship:
“I’ve watched almost all of his fights. He looks dangerous. He possesses a diverse arsenal with sharp combinations and solid power behind his strikes.”
Worapon continued:
“I believe I hold the edge in fight experience and ring maturity, but he’s still a dangerous opponent because of his versatility. Unlike some foreign fighters who rely solely on boxing, he brings knees and kicks into the mix.”
Worapon vows to set a blistering pace against Lenny Blasi
Acknowledging Lenny Blasi’s danger has not given Worapon any reason to play it safe on Friday night.
The Thai southpaw has built his 2026 run on forward pressure and early finishes, and the approach against the Italian will be no different.
Worapon guarantees another highlight-filled fight, promising to go all-out from start to finish.
He told ONE Championship in the same interview:
“From the very first second the bell rings, I’m ready to press the action and look for the finish. My body is ready to push the tempo, and I plan to march forward from the opening bell.”
