Rodtang Jitmuangnon recently showed off his power by smashing a watermelon with a crippling left hook.
This month, the Muay Thai king is busy doing a 15-day tour of the US, teaching seminars in multiple gyms across the country, but that hasn’t stopped him from destroying watermelons for fun behind-the-scenes.
Rodtang’s latest footage has prompted fans to take to Instagram to share their hilarious reactions.
One fan lamented:

“Dangerous life for watermelons in Thailand.”
Another person comically added:
“Next time, I want it to be durian. 🤣”

To say that Rodtang has a busy schedule ahead of him is a massive understatement. As soon as he returns from the US, he will be preparing for two world title matches within two months of each other.
The Muay Thai world champion will be looking forward to solidifying his status as the greatest pound-for-pound striker in two different sports when he challenges fellow countryman and ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix finalist, ‘The Kicking Machine’ Superlek Kiatmoo9, for the ONE flyweight kickboxing world title.
Later, Rodtang is expected to do a full U-turn back in the US to defend his Muay Thai belt for the fifth time against Mexican-American striker Edgar Tabares at ONE Fight Night 10, in Denver, Colorado.
American fans can still book their tickets for ONE Fight Night 10 while quantities last or catch all the action live and for free with an Amazon Prime Video subscription.
