“Ruthless” - Fans feel the agony Tawanchai PK Saenchai’s bone-breaking finish against Davit Kiria in Bangkok showdown

ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai also competes in kickboxing under ONE Championship, which he got off to a devastating start with a third-round TKO of Davit Kiria of Georgia, that saw the latter break his right arm.

The setting was ONE Fight Night 13 in August 2023 in Bangkok, in a featherweight kickboxing showdown. It was the PK Saenchai Muaythaigym standout's first kickboxing match after starting his ONE journey with six straight Muay Thai matches.

Tawanchai was in his element in the contest with his ferocious kicks, which culminated in the Thai superstar dealing Kiria with a broken forearm early in the third canto, that instantly brought an end to the match. He immediately apologized to his fallen opponent, who accepted it and congratulated him.

ONE Championship recently looked back at the thunderous finish with a video of it on its official Instagram profile. Fans took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the performance of Tawanchai's kickboxing debut and the destruction he brought.

Below are what some of them wrote.
