"He is not an athlete who can be underestimated" - Superlek praises Kongthoranee's impressive winning streak

Superlek Kiatmoo9 comes into his next fight knowing that his opponent is going to do everything he can to seize this opportunity.

Given his status as one of the best in the world, getting the chance to compete against 'The Kicking Machine' could just be a fighter's golden ticket.

Perform well or even secure the victory against someone like him and it shows that you're ready to face the top contenders that are out there.

Kongthoranee Sor Sommai has been one of many stars during the ONE Friday Fight series where he has racked up a seven-fight win streak since losing his second bout to Petsukumvit.

Despite his staggering run of form, this fight is his big opportunity to really step onto the global stage after recently earning himself a six-figure contract with ONE Championship.

During the virtual press conference ahead of the co-main event clash at ONE Friday Fights 68 between two elite Thai strikers, Superlek spoke about how his opponent's recent accomplishments speak for themselves:

"I think for someone like Kongthoranee to rise and get the contract, he is definitely not an athlete who can be underestimated."

Superlek won't take Kongthoranee lightly

Superlek may have another huge fight on the horizon that he will be focusing on in the near future but as of right now, his primary goal is winning on June 28.

Kongthoranee is an opponent who demands respect, especially considering his win streak that will see him come into this fight full of confidence.

He also has a point to prove that he can hang with the best in the world and this makes him dangerous.

It won't be an easy task at Lumpinee Stadium but Superlek has made a career out of rising to the occasion when others may stumble.

He will look to secure the win before beginning preparations for ONE 168 and his massive battle with Jonathan Haggerty.

ONE Friday Fights 68 will air live in Asian prime time. Check your local listings for more viewing details.
