Reigning and undisputed ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon of Thailand is heading into his upcoming showdown with Muay Thai king Tawanchai PK Saenchai full of confidence.
Superbon's confidence stems from having already fought Tawanchai once, where he went the distance with his compatriot in Dec. 2023, resulting in a majority decision loss.
But also the fact that another rival, countryman 'Smokin' Jo Nattawut has experienced similar success against Tawanchai.
Now, Superbon believes he has the blueprint to success that will lead him to becoming a two-sport world champion.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Superbon says he has studied Nattawut's fights against Tawanchai and discovered glaring weaknesses in the PK Saenchai representative's game.
The Superbon Training Camp founder said:
"Jo and I both have the same style of guards, which lets me see Tawanchai’s weaknesses clearer and also figure out the plan of what to do better."
Needless to say, Superbon believes he has a good chance to claim victory this weekend and leave the arena with another 26 pounds of gold in tow.
