Reigning and undisputed ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai is fresh off a scintillating stoppage victory over fellow Thai warrior Superbon a couple of weeks ago at ONE 170.
However, the 25-year-old is already booked for a quick turnaround and will be gunning for his second golden belt.
