"My goal is the belt" - Superbon says emphatic victory over Jo Nattawut renews his two-sport champ aspirations

Superbon has achieved a lot in his career as one of the very best kickboxers of his era.

Despite still being in possession of the interim ONE featherweight kickboxing world championship, the Thai striker has big aspirations.

In December last year, he crossed over into Muay Thai to challenge the world champion in his weight class, Tawanchai.

Though he may have come up short in a great contest, it didn't discourage him, in fact, it motivated him even more.

Superbon returned to the division at ONE Friday Fights 81 this past weekend where he made a statement.

Stopping former title challenger Jo Nattawut in the opening round was a far more dominant display than Tawanchai had achieved in his two encounters with 'Smokin' Jo.

With the rematch now seemingly on the cards for the near future, the kickboxing specialist is right where he wants to be.

In his post-event interviews, Superbon spoke about why this win over Nattawut is significant to his career:

"That means I step closer to the belt. For me right now, because my goal is the belt, so I'm going to go there."

Superbon looked more dangerous than ever before

Superbon has always been known as one of the very best kickers in striking sports today.

However, it was his elbows that secured the first-round finish against Jo Nattawut at Lumpinee Stadium.

This shows a clear evolution in his game as he can make people think twice about closing the gap on him, and can implement his kicking game even more.

Superbon was able to negate the boxing prowess of his opponent by getting up close to him and landing the final shot.

Now, he will look to secure revenge over Tawanchai when they meet again down the line.
