Reigning and undisputed ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai of Thailand has gotten better with every fight, and he can't wait to showcase his superior striking skills once again when he takes on fierce rival 'Smokin' Jo Nattawut early next month.
Tawanchai says he is at peak physical form heading into this all-important world title defense, and the 25-year-old phenom believes it will make all the difference.
Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview, Tawanchai talked about bulking up to get stronger.
The PK Saenchai Muay Thai gym representative stated:
"I think my physical body has improved. Because I did a lot of weight training for this rematch."
