“I’m only focused on Haggerty” - Superlek has tunnel vision for two-sport supremacy at ONE 168
Reigning and undisputed ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion 'The Kicking Machine' Superlek Kiatmoo9 of Thailand is fully fixated on the task at hand, and that's dethroning two-sport world champion 'The General' Jonathan Haggerty in the United States.
Fresh off a resounding points victory over fellow Thai warrior Kongthoranee Sor Sommai at ONE Friday Fights 68 last weekend, Superlek has promptly shifted his focus on his upcoming opponent.
He told Sportskeeda MMA in a recent interview:
"It’s true that there are so many more athletes way better than me. But now I’m only focused on Haggerty."
Superlek is one of the most talented strikers on the ONE Championship roster. And the flyweight superstar is moving up to bantamweight for his next fight.
Naturally, many fans worry about how Superlek is going to manage the weight differential.
'The Kicking Machine' said:
"I got people with knowledge in sports science who are coming to help me with that."
With all bases covered, it appears Superlek is getting himself primed and ready to deliver the goods. With the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title up for grabs, and a chance at two-division, two-sport glory, Superlek vows to enter this fight in prime condition and to put on the performance of a lifetime.
