On Friday night, September 6, the reigning ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion will return to the main event spotlight for a showdown with two-sport king Jonathan Haggerty in The Mile High City.

Detailing his preparation for one of the biggest Muay Thai fights in ONE Championship history, 'The Kicking Machine' said that his training sessions have been nothing short of intense, but is confident that all his hard work will pay dividends come fight night. He told Yokkao:
"The preparation for this fight has been intense, especially combining the physical training sessions with the Muay Thai training sessions. Also, I've never been there to fight. I'm excited and eager to show my Muay Thai skills."
Superlek seeking career-defining victory at ONE 168: Denver
Superlek heads to The Centennial State on a 10-fight win streak and an unbeaten record in Muay Thai competition under the ONE Championship banner.
That includes wins over a slew of top-shelf talents like Panpayak, Daniel Puertas, Danial Williams, Nabil Anane, and Tagir Khalilov. However, the Thai's biggest career win came in September 2023 when he stepped inside the ring for a clash with ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon.
After three absolutely insane rounds, 'The Kicking Machine' was declared the winner via unanimous decision, successfully doing what Jonathan Haggerty couldn't—defeat 'The Iron Man.'
Will Superlek add another career-defining victory to his resume and bring another 26 pounds of gold back home to Thailand?
