“He has fought many big names” - Superbon lauds Jo Nattawut’s in-ring experience
First-ranked ONE Championship featherweight Muay Thai contender and ONE interim featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon of Thailand knows his upcoming opponent is no pushover by any means. And he's certainly not taking 'Smokin' Jo Nattawut lightly.
Nattawut has been around the block in the world's largest martial arts organization and then some. And Superbon acknowledges his countryman's place among the greats in ONE Championship.
The Superbon Training Camp founder told ONE in a recent interview:
"Jo is an all-around fighter. He can throw attacks continuously and is a veteran in the ring. He has fought many big names like Giorgio Petrosyan, Regian Eersel, and Chingiz Allazov."

"Personally, I think I’m superior to him in every aspect, whether it’s my performance, my reputation, my technique, or my skills in kickboxing or Muay Thai."
