WATCH: Featherweight Muay Thai king Tawanchai PK Saenchai’s stone-cold highlights and KOs in ONE Championship

As Tawanchai PK Saenchai prepares to step back into the spotlight on Jan. 24, ONE Championship is fueling the excitement for his next assignment.

The reigning ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion is booked to defend his crown in a blockbuster rematch against divisional kickboxing king Superbon. Their clash will take center stage at ONE 170 inside the 12,000-capacity Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

To amplify the anticipation, the promotion uploaded a highlight reel on YouTube, paying homage to Tawanchai’s signature power and precision:

The Thai megastar burst onto the global scene with his promotional debut at ONE: Dangal in May 2021. That night, he faced Sean Clancy in a three-round contest that culminated in a spectacular knockout.

In the final round, Tawanchai delivered a devastating left high kick, flooring Clancy in an instant.

Since that unforgettable debut, Tawanchai has been a dominant force in his weight class, compiling an impressive 9-1 record under the organization’s banner.

Now, he gears up for his 11th appearance in the headliner of ONE 170.

Tawanchai expects another war against Superbon

The initial encounter in the rivalry between Tawanchai PK Saenchai and Superbon happened at ONE Friday Fights 46 in December 2023.

That highly anticipated bout saw Tawanchai retain his crown in a captivating five-round war that showcased the pinnacle of elite Muay Thai.

From the opening bell, the two athletes engaged in a battle of skill and grit, trading powerful strikes and displaying impeccable technique.

Tawanchai set the tone early with razor-sharp accuracy, while Superbon responded with calculated counters. The action intensified in the championship rounds, with both men landing punishing blows.

Ultimately, Tawanchai’s precision and control earned him a majority decision victory to keep his belt.

In an interview with ONE, Tawanchai expects another grueling duel against Superbon when they run it back for 26 pounds of gold:

“The second fight against Superbon should be just as fun as the first one because Superbon should be more familiar with Muay Thai. I’m ready.”
