Dutch-Turkish sensation ‘Turbine’ Tayfun Ozcan knows he has a tough task ahead of him when he faces former ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon Singha Mawynn in Bangkok.
The 31-year-old believes he’s headed into hostile territory, facing a beloved hero in his hometown who will no doubt draw strength from the partisan Thai crowd.
In a recent interview with ONE Championship, Ozcan says he has the answer, and that’s to simply not let Superbon get into his rhythm and play his game.

‘Turbine’ said:
“If you let him play his game, well, I wouldn’t even consider coming to Bangkok because I know I [would] lose.”
Of course, that’s certainly easier said than done, as Superbon is not just the hometown hero but also a fighter many consider to be among the very best strikers in the world, pound-for-pound.
Ozcan knows his back is against the wall, but he remains confident of victory if he can stick to his game plan.
