"I can fight everyone" - Superbon ready to test himself against anyone in ONE's loaded featherweight Muay Thai bracket
Despite having his eyes locked on two-sport glory, ONE interim featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon will be more than willing to face anyone in the featherweight Muay Thai division to assert his dominance.
The 34-year-old continues his mission in the talent-jammed weight bracket at ONE Friday Fights 81 on September 27. That evening inside the revered Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, the Superbon Training Camp founder squares off against the No.2-ranked 'Smokin' Jo Nattawut.
Given that his goal is the coveted Muay Thai crown, many feel Superbon's radar will be locked on divisional king Tawanchai PK Saenchai or Nattawut. But the kickboxing specialist begs to differ.
He told the South China Morning Post this week:
"No, I don't care [about facing anyone]. I can fight anyone in the rankings, even if it's not Jo or Tawanchai. I can fight everyone. I wouldn't say no to the opening. I don't care."
Before he dreams of what the future holds, the Thai striker knows he cannot look past the threat that 'Smokin' Jo brings when they meet in the middle of the ring next week.
The Atlanta-based fighter is eager to push himself back into the winner's column and enjoy success before he makes a quick turnaround to challenge Tawanchai at ONE 169: Atlanta in State Farm Arena on Nov. 8.

Like Superbon, Jo Nattawut says ONE gold is his top priority
With father time inevitably inching closer, Jo Nattawut is doing all he can to ensure he completes his trophy cabinet with the ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title.
On the signifcance of laying his hands on the 26 pounds of gold, the striking veteran told the promotion earlier this year:
"The world title would mean my work has been successful. I'm at the end of my career. Everywhere I go, I always got the title. So this is another belt to prove that I am really a champion."
ONE Friday Fights 81 will be available via pay-per-view at watch.onefc.com. The promotion's upcoming card inside the 'Mecca of Muay Thai' broadcasts live in Asia primetime on Friday, September 27.
