Undefeated Titus Proctor Targets Knockout Of Maciej Karpinski At The Inner Circle 37
Titus Proctor spent part of his childhood in foster care before martial arts gave him a direction. Twenty-two professional fights later, the New Zealander has still never lost.
The 22-year-old WBC Muay Thai World Champion takes on Polish powerhouse Maciej Karpinski in lightweight Muay Thai at The Inner Circle 37 on Friday, November 6. The card streams live in Asia primetime from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium for members at live.onefc.com.
Proctor won New Zealand’s prestigious King in the Ring tournament in 2023 and has carried that momentum into ONE. He knocked out Liu Quan in the third round at ONE Friday Fights 130 last October, then dropped “The Phenom” Tun Min Aung with a head kick on the way to a unanimous decision at The Inner Circle 18 in June.
Another statement win could strengthen his case for a US$100,000 main roster contract. The Tihipuke Muay Thai representative knows exactly how valuable his spotless record has become.
“It’s something I do need to protect because it gives you that status, you know? You can get good opportunities being undefeated and having a lot of knockouts,” Proctor said.
“So yeah, for sure, I’m looking to stay undefeated and keep getting more knockouts.”
Karpinski is a dangerous test. The European veteran scored four knockdowns before stopping Donny “The Don” Smith in the second round of his debut at ONE Friday Fights 113, and he brings heavy combinations, hard kicks, and real reach.
Proctor respects that threat but is predicting a knockout inside the first two rounds. He has spent camp sharpening his boxing and expanding his arsenal to keep Karpinski guessing.
He also has bigger names in mind. Reigning ONE Lightweight Muay Thai and Kickboxing World Champion Regian “The Immortal” Eersel sits at the top of his long-term goals.
For now, though, the Kiwi believes fans have only seen a small part of what he can do.
“This is just the start. I’ve still got a lot that I can showcase, and I’ve got a lot more tricks that I can pull out of my sleeve,” he said.
“I feel like the fans should expect a fireworks fight and a highlight-reel knockout from me.”
