The 37-year-old Thai veteran said:
"This moment is considered the final stretch of my career. I will try to do my best in the remaining time. I still want to give good performances, win every fight, and return to being a World Champion so I can retire with style."

Nong-O Hama says he will keep fighting until the wheels fall off: "My body can still take it"
Legendary Thai fighter Nong-O Hama is considered by many to be one of the greatest Muay Thai competitors of all time. But where the mind is willing, the body may no longer.
Thankfully, Nong-O says that hasn't been the case just yet, and he still feels strong despite being 37 years of age and with hundreds of ring wars under his belt.
He told ONE Championship:
"[I don’t know] how many fights I have left. I haven’t counted them yet because my body can still take it. I will keep doing it until my body can’t take it anymore."
