ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 returns to Lumpinee Stadium on June 28 for the stacked ONE Friday Fights 68 card. 'The Kicking Machine' has been on an incredible run in recent times and with his upcoming fights that are already locked in, he could look to continue adding to his legacy.
The elite striker has already got a huge date booked for ONE 168 in Denver where he will move up to bantamweight to challenge Jonathan Haggerty for the Muay Thai world championship.
However, before Sept. 6 takes his full focus, he has another dangerous opponent waiting in the wings this week.
In the co-main event, he will remain at flyweight to face off against Kongthoranee Sor Sommai in Muay Thai.

'The Kicking Machine' previewed the fight during a recent interview with the South China Morning Post where he said that despite Denver coming on the horizon, he isn't looking past his next opponent one bit:
"His power is there, you can actually see. And since he entered ONE Lumpinee since he entered ONE Championship, he's on a win streak, as you can see. So now he's very confident, and he's on top of his game. So of course, I would see him as dangerous."

Superlek knows better than to overlook any opponent
Many would make the case for Superlek being the best in the world right now but despite the acclaim he gets, he doesn't overlook opponents.
Kongthoranee may not bring the hype of the Haggerty clash on Sept. 6 but he's going to come into this contest with lots of confidence due to his winning streak.
This fight is by no means an easy warm-up before ONE 168 and Superlek will be very aware of this coming into fight night.
ONE 168 will air live in US prime time on September 6 from the Ball Arena in Denver but first, ONE Friday Fights 68 goes down at Lumpinee Stadium on June 28.
