Multiple changes have reshaped the card for ONE Fight Night 38: Andrade vs. Baatarkhuu on Prime Video broadcasting live in U.S. primetime from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, December 5. There, third-ranked featherweight Muay Thai contender Shadow Singha Mawynn will now face ISKA Kickboxing World Champion Enzo Kartoum in a divisional clash while Shinji Suzuki squares off against Dmitrii Kovtun in a bantamweight Muay Thai thriller.

Shadow was originally scheduled for a rematch with Mohamed Younes Rabah, but the hard-hitting Algerian was forced to withdraw due to illness. Replacing him in the featherweight Muay Thai bout is Kartoum, who brings top-shelf credentials to his ONE Championship debut. The 25-year-old French-Algerian is an ISKA Kickboxing World Champion who trains alongside reigning ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nabil Anane and other leading strikers at Team Mehdi Zatout in Pattaya.

Kartoum owns a 16-3 record with a 69 percent finishing rate and brings an eight-bout winning streak into his upcoming clash. Should he defeat Shadow, the French-Algerian dynamo could leapfrog him in the top-five divisional rankings.

Shadow earned his contract on the strength of a stunning five-bout winning streak at ONE Friday Fights. The former Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion was poised to extend that winning streak to six against Rabah at ONE Fight Night 33, but an accidental eye poke ended the proceedings and resulted in a no contest.

He bounced back in a major way, landing a spinning backfist to knock out Bampara Kouyate at ONE Fight Night 35 two months later. Though the 25-year-old Thai made a quick detour to test his skills in the kickboxing realm this past September, he returns to the art of eight limbs with a World Title shot on his mind.

Meanwhile, Suzuki’s opponent situation proved even more complicated. The Japanese veteran was set to face British legend Liam Harrison, but the Englishman withdrew from the bout due to injury. Nontachai Jitmuangnon initially agreed to step in, but like Rabah, he was forced to withdraw due to illness. Now, Kovtun takes the three-round bantamweight Muay Thai contest on short notice.

Suzuki attempts to return to form with a statement victory. The Tokyo native, who earned his contract by winning the 2022 Road to ONE: Japan tournament with back-to-back knockouts, eyes a pathway to the top of the ultra-stacked bantamweight Muay Thai division. His sharp boxing was on full display at ONE 166 in March 2024, where he defeated former ONE World Title challenger Han Zi Hao. But after falling to Jake Peacock in February, he desperately wants to get back in the win column and close the year on a positive note.

Standing across from him will be Kovtun, who’s also seeking redemption. The Russian started 2025 with a bang, impressing with victories over Suablack Tor Pran49 and Soe Lin Oo. Those wins positioned “The Silent Assassin” for an opportunity to crack the division’s top five, yet Kovtun was stopped by number four-ranked Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon via second-round TKO at ONE Fight Night 35.

On December 5, both veterans have a chance to re-establish their footing in the bantamweight Muay Thai division and bring some momentum into 2026.
