Superbon vowed to bring a "perfect" version of himself when he gets his second shot at ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai.

The ONE interim featherweight kickboxing world champion will face Tawanchai for the featherweight Muay Thai strap in the main event of the stacked ONE 170 card on Jan. 24 at Impact Arena.

In an interview with ONE Championship, Superbon acknowledged that Tawanchai may have landed the harder and stronger shots during their first meeting at ONE Friday Fights 46.

The Thai superstar, however, promised that Tawanchai won't be getting any advantages against him in their impending world title rematch.

Superbon 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."

Superbon first challenged Tawanchai for the featherweight Muay Thai throne at ONE Friday Fights 46 in an absolute clash of modern-day Muay Thai legends.

Their brutal back-and-forth ended in a unanimous decision win for Tawanchai, but Superbon worked his way back up to world title contention following two high-profile wins.

Superbon first held off rival Marat Grigorian for the ONE interim featherweight kickboxing world title at ONE Friday Fights 58 and followed it up with a first-round knockout of Jo Nattawut at ONE Friday Fights 81.


Superbon says he's found the perfect game plan to stop Tawanchai at ONE 170

Superbon is one of the most technically gifted fighters in ONE Championship, and he said he found a way to stop Tawanchai's reign atop the featherweight Muay Thai division.

In the same interview with the promotion, Superbon said he's figured out the perfect scheme to dethrone Tawanchai and capture the elusive ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title:

"In the next fight, that's not gonna happen again. From the last fight, I've got it figured out. I'm gonna prepare for that. But we're not gonna tell you what we're gonna do. I figured it out every time, I'm that person who always works harder to be better".
