'Smokin' Jo Nattawut has left no stone unturned as he seeks to return to winning ways against ONE interim featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon at ONE Friday Fights 81 on September 27.

That evening, the striking veteran meets the Superbon Training Camp founder in a featherweight Muay Thai matchup that headlines the promotion's quarterly tentpole ONE Friday Fights showcase inside the glorious Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

The Atlanta-based fighter has headed to his native land to see off the remainder of his fight camp. Per a clip on the official YouTube channel of Fairtex Training Center, the No.2-ranked divisional contender is upping his gears at the camp, which is home to some of the promotion's biggest superstars, three-sport queen Stamp Fairtex, Smilla Sundell, Saemapetch Fairtex, Ferrari Fairtex, and Jihin Radzuan.

Jo Nattawut makes a quick turnaround for Tawanchai trilogy at ONE 169: Atlanta

Just six weeks after his epic showdown with Superbon, 'Smokin' Jo Nattawut will be locked in for a ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title matchup with titleholder Tawanchai PK Saenchai at ONE 169: Atlanta on November 8.

The 35-year-old's match against Tawanchai will be the pair's third meeting on the global stage of the promotion after a pair of back-and-forth wars over the past 12 months.

Jo Nattawut took the first fight on short notice, and despite putting in a valiant effort, he ultimately fell short to the divisional king's striking clinic.

The Thais locked horns again at ONE 167 this past June. And though Tawanchai secured the majority decision after a thrilling 15-minute contest, many felt that 'Smokin' Jo deserved to get his hand raised after giving the PK Saenchai Muay Thai Gym man a run for his money until the final bell.
