Superbon is coming for two-sport glory at ONE 170.
After once again becoming the undisputed featherweight kickboxing world champion, Thai sensation Superbon has his sights set on adding 26 pounds of Muay Thai gold to his massive collection of accomplishments.
This Friday, Jan. 24, he'll have the chance to do exactly that when he meets reigning and defending ONE featherweight Muay Thai world titleholder Tawanchai in the ONE 170 main event inside the iconic Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

Speaking with ONE Championship ahead of his highly anticipated return to the Circle, Superbon discussed the importance of coming out on top at ONE 170 and accomplishing a goal he has long dreamed of achieving:
"My goal is to become two-sports world champion, Muay Thai and kickboxing. Now that ONE has officially made me undisputed kickboxing world champion, this is the next goal that I have to achieve in my life. Now the opportunity is within my reach, so it will motivate me more than ever."
Superbon looks to even the series against Tawanchai at ONE 170
Superbon's scrap with Tawanchai this Friday in The Land of Smiles will be the second-ever meeting between the two pound-for-pound greats.
Their first showdown came at ONE Friday Fights 46 in December 2023. That night, Tawanchai secured a majority decision victory to retain his featherweight Muay Thai title and extend his unbeaten streak which currently stands at seven.
Since then, Superbon has bounced back with an incredible head-kick KO against Tayfun Ozcan followed by a world title-winning performance against former three-time GLORY Kickboxing champion Marat Grigorian four months later.
Will Superbon even the series and lay claim to his first Muay Thai title under the ONE Championship banner, or will Tawanchai go two-up on his countryman and extend his streak to eight in a row?
