Tawanchai admits he's been a huge fan of Superbon from the very start of his career: "Always impressed by his performances"

Even the upcoming defending ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai couldn't help himself but yield to the fact that his upcoming challenger Superbon is an absolute legend of the sport.

Tawanchai will welcome the challenge of Superbon for the second time on Jan. 24 as they headline the ONE 170 card inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

Before he attempts to spoil Superbon's dream of obtaining two-sport glory, Tawanchai had a pre-fight interview with seasoned journalist Nick Atkin and shared that he has been a lifelong fan of Superbon:

"I'm one of his fans, I would say, and I've watched him since I was younger. I'm always impressed by his performances. I think he is very good."

In his recent exclusive talk with Sportskeeda MMA, the PK Saenchai Muaythaigym-affiliated athlete has acknowledged that his skill is at par with the Superbon Training Camp representative.

Furthermore, he mentioned that even with his almost a decade youth will not be considered as an edge against the veteran fighter, as he stated:

"I think I don't have any advantage over Superbon, even though I'm much younger. But I think we're both in physical condition."
