Takeru Segawa and Superbon Singha Mawynn were seen training together in a sparring session between two world-class strikers.
On December 8, Superbon will look to continue his legendary ONE Championship tenure in a must-see fight at ONE Fight Night 17. The former featherweight kickboxing king will have an opportunity to regain gold as he takes on Tawanchai for the latter’s featherweight Muay Thai throne.
