Tawanchai PK. Saenchai wants to give fans performances with pure knockouts

Tawanchai PK. Saenchai has garnered a reputation as an all-out knockout machine. Defeating three opponents by vicious TKO finishes in four wins in Muay Thai proves he’s made of a different breed.

The Pattaya-born fighter began his Muay Thai career when he was just 14 years old. He made a name for himself in the Thai community after beating high-level boxers at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.

The young athlete eventually earned multiple “Fighter of the Year” awards when he was 18 years old before joining ONE Championship in May 2021.

Technically sound as a martial artist due to his Muay Thai background and Lumpinee Stadium experience, the prodigy found out later that you need to bring more personality into your performances aside from winning.

Coming into his own at ONE Championship, the Thai standout revealed the changes he made in his game which drew fans to the stadium every time to watch him fight.

He told ONE:

“I’m glad that my fans love me and expect me to treat them with knockout again. When I competed in Thailand, I rarely knocked my opponent out, because my style is technical, not aggressive. But since I’ve joined ONE, I changed my style to be more aggressive. And fans love it. My fan base has expanded.”
