“Just finish the game as soon as possible” - Superlek aims for a quick night out vs. Kongthoranee

Superlek's plan at ONE Friday Fights 68 is simple—get in and get out.

Before stepping inside the Circle for one of the most anticipated Muay Thai fights of all time at ONE 168 in September, 'The Kicking Machine' will take on streaking Thai standout Kongthoranee Sor Sommai on Friday, June 28 inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium.

It will be Superlek's second appearance of 2024 following a sensational five-round showing against Japanese kickboxing icon Takeru Segawa at ONE 165 in Tokyo. However, this time, 'The Kicking Machine' has no intention of going to the distance with his 27-year-old opposition.

"My main focus is that I will try my best to KO or maybe just finish the game as soon as possible," he told the South China Morning Post. "I'm not saying that it's easy, I'm just going to try to find his weaknesses."

Kongthoranee—a two-time Rajadamnern Stadium champion—has looked nothing short of impressive since making his ONE Championship debut in 2023. He's gone 8-1 and is sitting on a seven-fight win streak with three highlight-reel knockouts.

ONE Championship will present ONE Friday Fights 68 live from Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on Friday, June 28.
