Reigning and undisputed ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai of Thailand says the secret to his victory over Thai compatriot Superbon in 2023 comes down to two things: conditioning and timing.
Tawanchai took home a razor-thin five-round majority decision over the featherweight kickboxing king at ONE Friday Fights 46 in December of that year. But now, the two are ready to run it back in an epic rematch this weekend.
In a recent ONE 170 media day held for Tawanchai in Bangkok, the featherweight Muay Thai titleholder pointed out the winning ingredients to his victory over Superbon two years ago.

The 25-year-old phenom said:
"The first one was my physical condition. And the other was the timing of my one-two combinations."
Tawanchai returns to the Circle this weekend with his featherweight Muay Thai gold up for grabs, and he's confident he can score a repeat performance over his legendary foe.
It all comes to a head at ONE 170 on Friday night.
