Superlek vs. Taiki Naito in the Grand Prix opening round
The Thai-born striker has decorated his name with titles and championships. Just earlier this year, he captured the Muay Thai True4U Muaymanwansuk title against Superball.
Prior to that, he held multiple Lumpinee Stadium titles, boasted championships in the Professional Boxing Association of Thailand, held a WBC world championship, and more.
His opponent in the opening round of this Grand Prix will be the Japanese-born fighter Taiki Naito. Between Muay Thai and kickboxing, the young striker had earned a Tournament title in RISE and a SHOOT Boxing Championship belt.
He will be entering the upcoming Grand Prix on a win streak. In his last bout, he defeated Thai-born fighter Petchdam Petchyindee Academy via a close decision.
Starting on May 20, both fighters will be looking to begin their journey towards ONE Championship gold. The winner of this bout will face either Amir Naseri or Savvas Michael in the next round, depending on who wins that bout.
