In November 2024, George Jarvis delivered a knockout blow to Rungrawee Sitsongpeenong, securing a lucrative six-figure agreement. A year and a half subsequent to that event, Rungrawee has vied for a ONE Global Championship. Jarvis is aware that his adversary has evolved considerably.
The rematch between Rungrawee and Jarvis, a lightweight Muay Thai contest, is set to headline ONE Fight Night 44 on Prime Video. This event will be aired live during U.S. primetime, originating from Bangkok, Thailand’s Lumpinee Stadium, on Friday, June 26.
Their initial encounter, which occurred at ONE Friday Fights 85 in November 2024, concluded with a third-round knockout. This victory propelled Jarvis into the international competition circuit and marked the initial significant defeat for Rungrawee in his ONE Championship career.
The 30-year-old combatant from Thailand responded by securing a decisive unanimous decision victory against Youssef Assouik. Subsequently, he challenged the current ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Champion, Regian Eersel, taking him the entire five rounds in April, only to narrowly lose by decision. Another defeat against Jarvis would impede his momentum, which has developed into one of the most intriguing trajectories in the division. Conversely, a triumph would solidify his claim for a subsequent championship opportunity.
Jarvis, at 25 years old, has also maintained an active career. Following the contract he secured by defeating Rungrawee, he contested the ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Title against Eersel in August 2025, falling short. He then regained his stride with a three-round victory over Sinsamut Klinmee in March 2026. His adeptness at changing stances combined with his precise technique renders him among the most challenging-to-predict fighters in the category.
George Jarvis and Rungrawee Seek Another Opportunity for a ONE Global Championship
This contest holds significant championship ramifications for the victor. Both Rungrawee and Jarvis have previously competed against the ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Champion, nearly capturing the championship belt. A decisive showing on June 26 from either competitor would present an compelling argument for a third challenge against Eersel.
Rungrawee approaches this bout having faced a greater caliber of opponents since their initial meeting than at any prior stage in his career. The devastating leg kicks, which earned him the moniker “Legatron,” have been refined during a world championship training camp. Jarvis steps into the ring understanding that a second triumph will solidify his standing within the division indefinitely.
