These plans have been put on hold as for now, he has a much bigger challenge awaiting him on December 22 at the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Tawanchai acknowledges the strength of the featherweight kickboxing division
Tawanchai has produced a dominant run in Muay Thai to become the featherweight world champion since losing his second fight in the promotion to Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong via split decision.
He is now looking to replicate a similar run of performances in the featherweight kickboxing division, which boasts one of the most stacked rosters in the sport.
As he looks to make his mark on a second division in order to try and secure two-sport world champion status, the Muay Thai king acknowledged how many top competitors there are in the division.
During the interview, he said that he doesn’t have specific names in mind but with the quality of the division, he won’t be short of opponents to work his way up the rankings:
“There's so many great guys there. I want to fight them and I want to take that kickboxing belt home.”
ONE Friday Fights 46 will air live and free via ONE Championship’s YouTube channel and the ONE Super App.
