A Man On A Mission

Detchawalit Silkymuaythai doesn't do close calls. Since arriving on the ONE Friday Fights stage in August 2025, the teenage sensation has been a wrecking ball – three fights, three first-round knockouts, three opponents sent home early. The level of competition has climbed with every outing, and so has the statement he's making.His most recent performance said it loudest. Facing ONE Flyweight Myanmar MMA Tournament Champion Saw Min Min, Detchawalit needed just 25 seconds to close the show. A vicious head kick buckled his opponent into the ropes, and then a right hand finished the job.

"In my latest fight with Saw Min Min, I planned to use my technique and wait for the right opening. I didn't expect the finish to come that fast, but that specific move was something we'd been drilling in training," Detchawalit said. "Winning three in a row by finish and against foreigners has boosted my confidence a lot. I'm feeling fired up and ready to go. I prepare well, train hard, and stay hungry. I just want to win every time I step into that ring."

Standing In His Way

That kind of form earns you a headline slot – and some serious opposition to go with it. Denis Dotsenko is no warm-up act. The Tiger Muay Thai product carries a 9-2 record and genuine one-punch danger in either hand. The Ukrainian is a boxer first, and a heavy-handed one at that – the kind of fighter who doesn't need long to flip the script on anyone who sleeps on him.

But Detchawalit has been doing his homework, and he likes what he sees.

"Denis's strength is his boxing – he's heavy-handed and sharp, like a pro boxer," Detchawalit acknowledged. "His defense isn't the best. He tends to walk in a bit loose and careless. If I catch his rhythm early, I could get another knockout. I'm still leaning on my punches and elbows. If his guard is down, I'm going for it."

The Bigger Picture

Win number 50, secured by another highlight-reel finish, could unlock something far greater than a victory on the scorecards.

A ONE Championship contract would open the door to the global stage – and Detchawalit already knows exactly who he wants on the other side of the ring. Names like the hard-hitting Suablack Tor Pran49 and even ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nabil Anane live in his imagination.

But those are tomorrow's dreams. Tonight, there is only one thing on his mind.

"Guys, don't blink during my fight, or you'll miss the finish," Detchawalit said. "I'm going to give it my all and grab that fourth win in a row. I won't let you guys down."
