“We all have to do our best” - Rodtang offers brotherly advice to ONE 170 headliners Tawanchai and Superbon

Thai superstar Rodtang Jitmuangnon offered a few words of brotherly advice to his countrymen and ONE 170 headliners Tawanchai PK Saenchai and Superbon.

This Friday, January 24, Tawancahi will put his ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title on the line against Superbon in one of the most anticipated rematches in ONE Championship history.

The first time around, Tawanchai secured a majority decision victory over Superbon at ONE Friday Fights 46 in December 2023. Little more than a year later, he'll look to go two-up on the undisputed ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion.

Speaking about this weekend's ONE 170 headliner inside the iconic Impact Arena in Bangkok, 'The Iron Man' shared some words of wisdom about fighting against his fellow Thais and what it takes to make it to martial arts' biggest global stage.

"In the sport of boxing, I’ve been fighting with Thais since I was little because it’s a profession," Rodtang told ONE Championship. "You need to view it as your career and do your best. No matter, if it’s me or my opponents, we all have to do our best to reach the world stage."

Tawanchai vs. Superbon 2 is a true battle of two P4P greats

Aside from being world champions in their respective sports, Tawanchai and Superbon are considered to be two of the best P4P strikers on the planet.

As the reigning ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion, Tawanchai has run through some of the biggest names in the game, including Saemapetch Fairtex, former four-time ONE world titleholder Petchmorakot Petchyindee, and 'Smokin' Jo Nattawut.

Not to be outdone, Superbon has spent ample time competing against some of the biggest names in all of kickboxing. Aside from highlight-reel knockouts against Giorgio Petrosyan and Tayfun Ozcan, Superbon also holds victories over Sitthichai Sitsonpeenong and three-time GLORY Kickboxing titleholder Marat Grigorian.

In fact, it was Grigorian who Superbon defeated to once again become the ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion.

Will Superbon etch his name in the history books and become a two-sport ONE world titleholder at ONE 170, or will Tawanchai continue his reign of dominance and extend his unbeaten streak to eight?
