Reigning and undisputed ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion 'The Kicking Machine' Superlek Kiatmoo9 of Thailand is having a busy 2024 so far.
The Thai superstar kicked things off this year with a massive victory over Japanese kickboxing icon 'The Natural Born Crusher' Takeru Segawa at ONE 165: Superlek vs. Takeru in January.
And now, he is back in action this weekend against fellow Thai fighter Kongthoranee Sor Sommai.

'The Kicking Machine' said:
"Comparing him to Takeru, I can’t really compare it because they have different styles and different moves as well."
Whereas Takeru employed a more boxing-heavy style, Superlek expects Kongthoranee to use the full extent of 'the art of eight limbs' when they meet this weekend.
Superlek and Kongthoranee lock horns in the co-main event at ONE Friday Fights 68: Prajanchai vs. Di Bella. The event broadcasts live from the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on Friday, June 28th.
Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action live and absolutely free via the ONE Super App, ONE Championship's official YouTube channel, and other digital platforms.
Shortly after, Superlek will head to the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado on September 6th to face Jonathan Haggerty for the bantamweight Muay Thai crown at ONE 168.
