ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon Singha Mawynn is flattered by being dubbed the No. 1 pound-for-pound kickboxer in the world. Still, the Thai superstar believes he has to pick a few more off the list to truly earn that designation.
After scoring incredible wins against Giorgio Petrosyan and Marat Grigorian in back-to-back fights, Superbon will attempt to cross another big name off his hitlist this Friday night, defending his featherweight kickboxing crown against the No. 1 ranked contender Chingiz Allazov.
Ahead of their long-awaited world title clash, Superbon spoke with ONE Championship to share his thoughts on being dubbed the pound-for-pound best in the world:
“I’m very honored and happy that people think of me like that. However, for me, I still think that there’s a lot of other strikers who are above me or who I have to fight before I can fully say that I accept this title.”
