Full Card Set For The Inner Circle 28 As Career-Defining Chances Line Up In Bangkok
Worapon Lukjaoporongtom has already turned 2026 into the best year of his career, and a win at The Inner Circle 28 inside Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, August 28, would put a six-figure contract firmly in reach.
The 23-year-old Thai southpaw has racked up three victories already this year, opening with a head kick knockout of Myanmar Lethwei Champion Soe Lin Oo at ONE Friday Fights 139 before following up with a first-round stoppage of Arthur Brossier and a hard-fought decision over Tom Casse.
Standing in his way is Lenny Blasi, the Italian striker who has built a reputation for high-volume, entertaining Muay Thai since his debut on the weekly platform. A win over a fighter of Worapon’s caliber would instantly become the signature victory of Blasi’s career and put him in the conversation for a contract of his own.
The co-main event carries similarly high stakes for both men involved. Rambong Sor Therapat enters on a three-fight winning streak across 15 appearances on the platform, and a victory over Chartpayak Saksatoon would be the kind of result that accelerates a career overnight.
Chartpayak, for his part, is rebuilding after a rare loss. The former 7-0 standout dropped his first promotional decision to Ramadan Ondash in a frantic back-and-forth affair at ONE Friday Fights 114 that saw both men score knockdowns before the Lebanese star sealed the finish in the second round.
Since then, Chartpayak has won three of his last four outings, relying on a left hook that has ended fights at every stage of the contest. His path back to relevance has been built on the kind of finishing instinct that made him one of the platform’s most decorated performers before the setback.
Elsewhere on the card, three additional bouts round out the action. Isannuea Sor Sasiwat meets Ubaid Hussain and Basta Abdelmouneme faces Fakhriddin Khasanov in flyweight Muay Thai contests, while Jung Hyun Woo and Keisuke Monguchi square off in a strawweight kickboxing pairing.
Every fighter on this card is chasing something bigger than a single result, and Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium will decide who takes the next step toward it.
