“Japanese fans are amazing” - Superlek recalls the electric atmosphere he experienced the last time he fought in Japan

Reigning ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and flyweight kickboxing world champion 'The Kicking Machine' Superlek Kiatmoo9 of Thailand is headed back to 'the land of the rising sun' and the Thai star can't wait to perform in front of his Japanese fans.

Superlek heads to Saitama next weekend when he takes on Algerian-Thai rival Nabil Anane to unify the division's gold, and the Kiatmoo9 Gym representative is excited to put on a show.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Superlek talked about fighting in Japan for the first time in a long time, and the overall positive experience that he went through.

'The Kicking Machine' stated:

"The atmosphere of the fight was a little different from Thailand, but it was no problem. Japanese fans are amazing. The stadium was packed, and they cheered me out loud."

Superlek is arguably the pound-for-pound best striker in the world today, and next weekend, he will look to step inside the Circle against a former adversary and further establish his dominance in the division.

Fans won't have to wait long to see Superlek Kiatmoo9 back in action.
