Suablack is on a mission to prove he’s a world-class fighter following ONE Fight Night 18 war
Suablack made a name for himself in 2023 by winning four consecutive fights by knockout. Although he’s found success early, the 27-year-old has a long way to go before solidifying his legacy by becoming a ONE world champion.
Following his impressive performance at ONE Fight Night 18, Suablack had this to say during his post-fight interview:
“It really means a lot to me. I want to show everyone that this Thai fighter, a Karen fighter, can be world-class.”
Suablack and Stefan Korodi have gained a significant amount of respect from fans due to their brutal war on January 12. It’ll be intriguing to see if both fighters can continue to find success and challenge ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion Jonathan Haggerty.
