“I have more strength in this fight” - Superbon promises stronger showing in Tawanchai rematch at ONE 170

Reigning and undisputed ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon vows to put on a better performance in his rematch with featherweight Muay Thai king Tawanchai PK Saenchai this weekend.

Superbon lost a close majority decision to his younger contemporary back at ONE Friday Fights 46 in Dec. 2023. But the 34-year-old Superbon Training Camp founder believes he can do much better.

He told ONE Championship in a recent interview:

"In terms of physical condition, if we talk about strength, I think I have more strength in this fight because in the previous fight I had a lot of injuries. I withdrew about two to three months before that, but it was still not 100 percent healed. Because it takes time to heal a muscle tear. Which means I couldn't train too hard or the muscles would tear again. So it turned out that I had to just train to maintain strength. So it seemed like I couldn’t stand and fight at my full potential for the entire five rounds."

Now though, Superbon says he's feeling great and is fully ready for the rematch:

"This is another turning point in the game because in this fight I don’t have any injuries. I’m confident that I’m 100 percent fit, as fit as I can be. I’m 34 years old now, and I’m still this fit. I think I can stand for the full five rounds with ease."
