Featherweight kickboxing king Superbon prepared to do “whatever it takes” to take Muay Thai crown from Tawanchai at ONE 170

Superbon is ready to exhaust every possible way to claim his second world title in ONE Championship.

The reigning ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion will challenge Tawanchai PK Saenchai for the ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title in the main event of the stacked ONE 170 card on Friday at Impact Arena.

The super fight between Superbon and Tawanchai will be the second time the two megastars meet after the reigning ONE featherweight Muay Thai king retained his gold in their first matchup at ONE Friday Fights 46 in Dec. 2023.

Determined to reach that coveted champ-champ status, Superbon said he'll do whatever it takes to dethrone Tawanchai and become the new king of the featherweight Muay Thai division.

Superbon posted on Instagram:

"Whatever it takes, I will bring that belt home 😈"

Superbon is often considered one of his generation's greatest kickboxers, if not the greatest, with multiple world title wins in his resume.

He pushed that narrative to insane heights when he knocked out the legendary Giorgio Petrosyan at ONE: First Strike in Oct. 2021 for the inaugural ONE featherweight kickboxing world title

Although he relinquished the throne to Chingiz Allazov, Superbon secured the ONE interim featherweight kickboxing world title when he outclassed eternal rival Marat Grigorian at ONE Friday Fights 58 in April 2024.

The Thai megastar was then elevated to undisputed world champion status in 2025 after Allazov decided to step away from the spotlight.

Superbon admits beating a fellow Thai fighter in Tawanchai gives him further motivation

Muay Thai will always be synonymous with Thailand and its warriors, and Superbon believes taking on a fellow Thai superstar in Tawanchai gives him further motivation at ONE 170.

Superbon said in an interview with ONE Championship:

"It drives me and pushes me to the goal even more. I feel like Muay Thai fighters should be Thais, and the top fighters are Thais."

Superbon earned his notoriety through kickboxing, but the head of the Superbon Training Camp in Bangkok started his athletic career in Muay Thai.
