Jake Peacock vs. Shinji Suzuki Results

Held on February 20, 2025, at the Lusail Sports Arena, the fight promised fireworks as both athletes sought to prove themselves on the global stage.

The British-Canadian Jake Peacock entered the bout riding high after a successful ONE Championship debut in April 2024, where he secured a dominant unanimous decision victory over Kohei Shinjo. The athlete, who was born without his right forearm, has inspired fans worldwide with his resilience and unique style. A Road to ONE: Canada tournament winner, Peacock boasted a 13-1 professional record with 11 knockouts and aimed to continue his rise in the bantamweight division with a second-straight win in ONE Championship.

A seasoned Japanese Muay Thai practitioner Shinji Suzuki posed a significant challenge for Peacock. With experience against high-level competition, including notable performances against elite fighters like Han Zi Hao, Suzuki brought heavy boxing skills and devastating low kicks to the table. Suzuki sought to derail Peacock’s momentum and reestablish himself as a top contender in the division.

It was a three-round Muay Thai match in four-ounce gloves at ONE 171, Peacock opened by attacking the legs of his opponent both to the thigh and calf. Suzuki used his lead hand jab and hook to success but largely the story of the first round was powerful kicks from the British-Canadian athlete landing.

Jake Peacock was relentless in round two, taking the center and attacking with a combination of kicks to both legs and the body of his opponent. The British-Canadian tied up in a clinch and dropped Suzuki scoring a knockdown with knees and elbows.

In the third round, Peacock scored a knockdown early with an elbow from his shorter arm. A third knockdown was scored with leg kicks and Shinji Suzuki struggled to stay on his feet and went down from a barrage of punches. Jake Peacock earns a TKO win in the third round at ONE 171 at 1:39.

Dmitry Menshikov Breaks Silence: Legal Action and Frustration Fuel ONE Championship Exit

Russian Muay Thai fighter Dmitry Menshikov has publicly voiced his frustrations with ONE Championship, culminating in legal action and his decision to leave the organization. The 27-year-old lightweight contender, who holds a 4-1 record in ONE with all victories by knockout, has served a legal notice to the promotion citing an alleged breach of contract. Following his most recent win, Menshikov explains his side.

Dmitry Menshikov Leaving ONE Championship

Dmitry Menshikov’s discontent stems from a lack of fight opportunities in 2024, during which he claims ONE only offered him a single bout despite promises of a more active schedule. This inactivity led to financial strain and prompted his legal team to conclude that ONE had failed to fulfill its contractual obligations.

On February 16, 2025, Menshikov competed in what is likely his final bout with ONE Championship at ONE Friday Fights 97. He secured a first-round knockout victory over Thai fighter Tengnueng. However, the aftermath of the fight has only intensified tensions between Menshikov and the organization.

In a statement following the bout, Dmitry Menshikov expressed his disappointment:

“I won by KO again but they didn’t give me a post-fight interview, so I’ll share my thoughts here. Recently I had some negative things to say about ONE and announced I will be departing the organization. Some people may say this is why I didn’t get a bonus this time.

“Maybe that’s true, but you’d hope bonuses would be awarded purely for performance reasons and not be infected by such sentiments. When you see that they also deleted my highlights and denied me a post-fight interview, clearly there are some hard feelings at play. I’ve had five fights with ONE, winning four by knockout, but never received a bonus — including this time.

“It’s weird because they’ve given bonuses to other Russians, so clearly it’s not a political thing. Anyway, this confirms that ONE isn’t the right organization for me, and I stand by my decision to leave. And I expect to see many more fighters make the decision to leave ONE this year as well.“

Dmitry Menshikov further alleged that ONE denied him a post-fight interview and removed his fight highlights from social media after fans showed support for him in the comments section. His manager, Andrey Busygin, emphasized that signing an athlete to an exclusive contract implies regular competition, which was not provided in this case. Menshikov’s departure from ONE Championship marks the latest in a series of fighter exits and public complaints, raising questions about the organization’s relationship with its athletes.

Prajanchai Busts Open Ellis Badr Barboza En Route to Doctor’s Stoppage TKO – ONE Fight Night 28 Highlights

Prajanchai delivered another lights-out performance en route to retaining his ONE strawweight Muay Thai world championship at ONE Fight Night 28 in Bangkok.

After a fairly conservative opening round that saw both fighters sizing up one another, things really began to pop off in the second with the Thai titleholder opening up his striking and busting open his opponent, British slugger Ellis Badr Barboza, with a slick inside elbow.

By the time we reached the third, Prajanchai was in clear control of the contest and even began to do a little trash-talking, much to the delight of the hometown crown.

Near the two-minute mark of the penultimate round, the Thai caught Barboza with another inside elbow to the same eye he’d busted open early. This caused the cut to open up even further, leaving the Brit with a completely split eyelid. Seeing the damage, referee Olivier Coste paused the contest to have ringside doctors take a look at the injury. Moments later Coste waived off the bout, awarding the contest to Prajanchai via a technical knockout in the fourth round.

Thai prospect Kongthoranee Sor Sommai spoiled Nong-O Hama’s flyweight debut, scoring a closely contested split decision over the eight-time ONE world champion at ONE Fight Night 28 on Prime Video.

Kongthoranee was in control for a majority of the opening round, keeping Nong-O at bay with a variety of front kicks and the threat of landing an elbow in close. Things started to pick up in the final minute with Nong-O looking very relaxed in the new weight class, but it was Kongthoranee who appeared to have a higher output throughout the first three minutes.

After a fairly easy-going opening round, Nong-O came out aggressive in the second and started to pour it on Kongthoranee with a relentless barrage of body kicks.

With the fight potentially tied up at 1-1, both fighters came out looking to put on a fast and furious pace. Kongthoranee landed a nice straight left early as Nong-O continued to punish his opponent’s body and left forearm with a non-stop string of kicks. With 10 seconds left to go in the fight, Nong-O attempted to rush Kongthoranee, but both fighters got caught up in the ropes, preventing them from slugging it out for the last few ticks on the clock.

Dmitry Menshikov Serves Legal Notice to ONE Championship Over Alleged Contract Breach

Dmitry Menshikov, a lightweight contender and teammate of Artem Vakhitov, has initiated legal action against ONE Championship, alleging the organization failed to meet its contractual obligations.

Legal papers served on ONE Championship by Dmitry Menshikov

Through his legal team and manager, Dmitry Menshikov informed ONE that he plans to enter free agency after his February 14 bout in Bangkok. This decision follows a year of inactivity in 2024, during which ONE only offered him a single fight despite earlier promises of more opportunities. Dmitry Menshikov, who boasts an impressive 3-1 record in ONE with all victories via KO or TKO, expressed frustration over the lack of bookings despite his consistent performances.

Menshikov’s legal representatives highlighted that the fighter repeatedly notified ONE of his availability throughout 2024 but received no response. When a promised December fight failed to materialize, his legal team concluded that ONE had breached its contractual duties and formally notified the promotion.

Reflecting on his experience, Dmitry Menshikov stated: “A single fight per year is unsustainable for a competitive athlete and violates our agreement. After February 14, I will enter free agency.” He also criticized ONE for rebooking fighters he had defeated rather than himself and noted the difficulty in communicating with the promotion’s matchmakers.

Menshikov’s manager, Andrey Busygin, emphasized that signing an athlete to an exclusive contract implies regular competition, which was not provided in this case. He confirmed that Menshikov will pursue free agency after the February bout to resume a full competitive schedule. Menshikov plans to explore opportunities with other promotions starting March 2025. In a statement, he said:

“I had some great fights with ONE, but a single bout per year is not a sustainable calendar for a competitive athlete and is a clear breach of the understanding between the fighter and the organization when we entered into a promotional contract. For this reason, I will be entering free agency after the upcoming February 14th bout.

“I find it strange that all my wins are by KO or TKO, yet ONE chose to rebook the fighters I KO’d rather than myself. Maybe they were cheaper, I don’t know. It’s hard to know anything that’s going on at ONE – our attempts throughout 2024 to reach the matchmakers were met by deafening silence.

“Several fighters have left recently because of being frustrated like Sage Northcutt and Reinier de Ridder and I think that’s the best solution for me as well. My contract only has a few months left on it anyway. At this point it’s probably easier for us all to go our separate ways.”
