“I would take it” – Tawanchai admits he’ll be the ‘underdog’ in a potential champion vs. champion showdown against Chingiz Allazov

Reigning and undisputed ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai is fresh off a resounding decision victory over Superbon Singha Mawynn last weekend. But, he's already looking at wrapping more ONE Championship gold around his waist.

Tawanchai took care of business against Superbon in a tough five-round affair, and took home a majority decision. The two locked horns in the main event of ONE Friday Fights 46: Tawanchai vs. Superbon, which took place at the historic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand last December 22nd.

It was a closely fought contest, with both Tawanchai and Superbon having their moments. But in the end, it was the 24-year-old phenom that took home the judges’ nod and kept his Muay Thai gold intact.

Speaking to veteran ONE Championship broadcast analyst Mitch ‘The Dragon’ Chilson in his post-fight interview, Tawanchai said he is done with Muay Thai for now, and is setting his sights on the kickboxing belt held by Azerbaijani-Belarusian Chingiz Allazov.

Tawanchai said about the kickboxing champ:

“Chingiz is a very good fighter. I feel like I’d be an underdog if I were to face him but if the opportunity comes and I have to face him, I would take it.”
