Superbon says he is expecting to better compete against Tawanchai in rematch at ONE 170
Superbon bowed to Tawanchai PK Saenchai by majority decision in their first encounter for the ONE featherweight Muay Thai belt in December 2023 but does not see that happening in their rematch at ONE 170 on Jan. 24.
The Thai superstar sounded the warning in an interview with ONE Championship, underscoring that in the rematch he has a better grip on his Muay Thai game unlike last time around.
"It had been a long time since I fought in Muay Thai. Eigth years, 10 years, most of the time I fought in kickboxing, the first time, everything wasn't perfect. But the next time, I will be perfect."
At ONE 170, Superbon will try to become a two-sport ONE world champion on the heels of recently being elevated as featherweight kickboxing king from being the interim champ.
