27-year-old Muay Thai firecracker Suablack Tor Pran49 has been absolutely phenomenal in his time inside the ONE Championship ring so far, winning all four of his fights via knockout. But that’s only because he learned from the absolute best, picking up the tools of his trade from none other than reigning ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9.
The Tor Pran49 gym representative joined ONE Championship via ONE Friday Fights in June of 2023, and was an instant hit with fans. It didn’t take long for the 27-year-old star to reach the main roster of the world’s largest martial arts organization, where he will make his U.S. prime time debut this weekend.
Before Suablack climbs into the ONE Championship ring for his main roster debut, however, the Thai phenom wanted to give props to his mentor.
Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Suablack gave Superlek his flowers, and thanked him for the learning sessions.

Suablack Tor Pran49 said:
“For this fight, Superlek trained with me. We went running and sparring. I can see why he’s the World Champion. He gave me a lot of world-class advice.”
Will we see the best version of Suablack in ONE Championship yet? Only time will tell.
