Superbon sends warning to Tawanchai ahead of rematch
Superbon warned Tawanchai PK Saenchai that he will be coming in fully prepared in their scheduled title rematch at ONE 170 on Jan. 24 after putting in the needed time in his Muay Thai training unlike in their first encounter in December 2023.
He made this known in an interview with ONE Championship, relaying how last time around he was still finding his way back in Muay Thai after competing mostly in kickboxing previously.
The interim featherweight kickboxing world champion said:
"It had been a long time since I fought in Muay Thai. Eight years, 10 years, most of the time I fought in kickboxing, the first time, everything wasn't perfect. But the next time, I will be perfect."
Despite in the process of regaining his Muay Thai game, Superbon still gave Tawanchai a tough time, forcing the champion to the limit before bowing by majority decision.
