Superlek Kiatmoo9 finds himself in a bit of a tricky situation with two cracking fights lined up inside the ONE Championship Circle in the space of two months.

The ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion switches disciplines for his next fight against Kongthoranee Sor Sommai, which will be part of the loaded ONE Friday Fights 68 card on June 28.

Then, at ONE 168: Denver on September 6, the Kiatmoo9 Gym superstar attempts to go for two-sport glory when he moves up a division to face Jonathan Haggerty with the latter's ONE bantamweight Muay Thai strap on the line inside the Ball Arena.

Though it would seem that he'll have his hands full alternating between disciplines, that is, surprisingly, the last thing the Thai superstar is worried about.

Speaking to the South China Morning Post, Superlek instead highlighted the main issue he could find himself in. The 28-year-old said:

"I'm not really worried about the fight. I am more pressured in terms of the weight because I will be fighting with Kongthoranee at flyweight, then I would be fighting Jonathan Haggerty in bantamweight, and the difference in the time is it's going to be in just two months."

Superlek 'thrilled' to face the very best version of Haggerty in Denver

Even if he might have his work cut out against the British two-sport conqueror inside the Ball Arena in Denver, Superlek remains game to face only the very best version of 'The General' at ONE 168: Denver.

Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA separately, he shared:

"I'm now the ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion. I think that says enough of how far I have come. I'm thrilled to face [Haggerty] at the top of his game."

The Kiatmoo9 Gym fighter's Muay Thai encounter against Kongthoranee at ONE Friday Fights 68 will be available via PPV at watch.onefc.com.
