Superbon to draw strength from hometown crowd in next world title defense

ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon Singha Mawynn believes he has a distinct advantage going into his main event fight on January 13. This world title bout will be hosted in his home nation at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

Superbon is booked against the highly dangerous 'Chinga' Chingiz Allazov in the headlining fight on ONE Fight Night 6 on Prime Video. The fight card will be live and free to watch for North American fans with a Prime Video subscription.

The 32-year-old Thai-born athlete is confident ahead of this match because he has the strength of the audience on his side. In an interview with Nicolas Atkin of SCMP MMA, Superbon explained:

"My advantage is that I’m fighting at home, I’m fighting in Thailand. When it comes to speed and power I also have the advantage on that as well. I also have a lot of support from my Thai fans in Thailand."

The 32-year-old athlete added that performing for his home nation is a great honor and he wants to make Thailand proud. He said:

"For me, I’m more preparing because I’m fighting in Thailand, in Bangkok, in my home. When my people come, I don’t want to make them disappointed, I wanna make them proud."
