Before Tawanchai PK Saenchai steps back into action later this month, fans have the opportunity to revisit a bout that put his resilience to the test.
This happened when Tawanchai staked his ONE featherweight Muay Thai world championship against fellow superstar Superbon in the main event of ONE Friday Fights 46 in December 2023.

Both men wasted no time engaging, meeting at the center of the ring to unleash their most powerful strikes. Tawanchai dictated the pace from the outset, pressing forward relentlessly. Meanwhile, Superbon remained composed, relying on his counterstriking through the first three rounds.
The intensity soared in the final two frames as the two warriors traded heavy punches and thunderous kicks.
When the dust settled, it was Tawanchai's precision that spelled the difference, earning him a majority decision on the judges' scorecards.
With the outcome of the initial encounter leaving many believing that it could have gone either way, Tawanchai silenced any doubts when he had the chance to run it back with Superbon at ONE 170 this past January.
This time, the judges were not needed as he floored Superbon three times in the second round of the rematch to author an emphatic TKO victory.
