Kongthoranee dreams of becoming a ONE world champion and wearing 26-pound golden belt around his waist

Before that match with Nakrob, the Sor Sommai representative had already set his goal of becoming the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion, as he mentioned during an interview with ONE Championship.

Kongthoranee revealed that this is his ultimate dream, as he said:

"Right now, the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world championship [135 pounds] is still vacant. I want to be the champion. I have to improve myself to get to that point. Maybe once in my life, I will be able to wear the ONE world championship belt."
