While speaking to ONE, 'The Kicking Machine' explained:

The most important aspect though was learning how to teach. He continued:
"And I learned how to teach others from him as well. I gained a lot of experience from that seminar. I also met an MMA world champion as well at the gym we visited... I want to go around the world like [Saenchai]. I would like to spread Muay Thai to the world."
Superlek will be back in the ONE circle on March 24 at ONE fight Night 8 on Prime Video. The Thai striker is looking to defend his ONE flyweight kickboxing world championship against 'Mini T' Danial Williams.
