"My life was turned upside down" - Seksan thrilled to hold off retirement and reinvigorate his career with ONE

Muay Thai legend Seksan Or Kwanmuang thought about hanging up his gloves for good before ONE Championship came calling last year.

After all, the 35-year-old had nothing to prove anymore. He already established himself as not only the best but one of the most exciting fighters in 'The Art of Eight Limbs'.

However, as his moniker suggests, 'The Man Who Yields To No One' couldn't just sail off into the sunset before taking on the best fighters in the world's largest martial arts organization.

Needless to say, fight fans are grateful that Seksan gave in to that itch to continue his illustrious career.

Seksan entered ONE like a devastating cyclone that ravaged everyone in his path.

The Thai fan favorite competed eight times in 2023, all wins, and amassed an even larger fan base for his devil-may-care style.

In an interview with ONE, Seksan reflected on how things could have been a lot different if he decided to walk away:

"Going from the guy who was thinking about retirement, my life was turned upside down. I just feel satisfied with the way it is."
