Superlek has eyes on Jonathan Haggerty's bantamweight kickboxing title: "I'd like to fight for it"

Reigning two-sport ONE world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 doesn't plan on stopping at two shiny golden straps. He wants Jonathan Haggerty's ONE bantamweight kickboxing world title next.

'The Kicking Machine' authored a flawless performance in the main event of ONE 168: Denver last Friday, needing under a minute to finish the Brit and claim his Muay Thai belt. Though many were expecting 'The General' to put up a much better fight, the Thai's weapon of destruction — his trademark elbow — connected with far too much fury.

When asked about what he wants next on his radar, the 28-year-old told Bangkok Post's Nick Atkin:

"If there's a chance. Jonathan Haggerty is the champion of [bantamweight] kickboxing, and if there's a chance now, I'd like to fight for it."

The 28-year-old's win inside Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, also saw him pull a 2-0 lead over the Knowlesy Academy and Team Underground affiliate, having punched his way to a TKO win over the latter in October 2018.

Based on what he has to say, Superlek is more than game to realize a rubber match against the Londoner. Of course, once he's done his duties as the reigning ONE flyweight kickboxing and bantamweight Muay Thai world champion.
