ONE superstar Rodtang Jitmuangnon is riding an extended winning streak into his flyweight kickboxing world title bout against Superlek Kiatmoo9 — and fans are impressed.
'The Iron Man' has won 13 striking contests in a row in ONE Championship leading up to his next match at ONE Fight Night 8 on Prime Video. The 25-year-old flyweight Muay Thai king has successfully defended his belt four times.
He's now eyeing a world title in a second sport, kickboxing. Rodtang must defeat Superlek, who is on an impressive winning streak of his own, attaining the vacant title by defeating Spain's Daniel Puertas this past January.

Rodtang's goal is to win world titles in multiple sports before starting a family
The Muay Thai phenom is aiming to become a champion in both kickboxing and MMA before taking time off to begin a family, telling ONE:
“My goal is still the same. I’d like to make a run at MMA and kickboxing gold. I want to develop myself into a better athlete and try out different sports. And I’d like to start a family of my own soon. I want to find a special someone to live with and settle down with.”
'The Iron Man' picked up his first kickboxing win inside the circle against China's Jiduo Yibu last January, leading to his upcoming world title opportunity
