"I'm ready to accept the fight" - Tawanchai says he'll run it back with Superbon under Muay Thai or kickboxing rules

Tawanchai PK Saenchai is open to fighting Superbon in a rematch under Muay Thai or kickboxing rules.

In Dec. 2023, Tawanchai was scheduled to defend his featherweight Muay Thai world title against Superbon in the ONE Friday Fights 46 main event.

The challenger showcased a valiant effort throughout the five rounds, but Tawanchai retained his throne with an impressive unanimous decision win.

Tawanchai and Superbon have gone their separate ways, as the latter returned to the ONE featherweight kickboxing division. With that said, the Thai superstars could meet again down the road, as Tawanchai had this to say during an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda:

"I'm ready to accept the fight - whether he wants to rematch in Muay Thai or kickboxing. I'm ready"

Following his loss against Tawanchai, Superbon faced Marat Grigorian in a rematch for the ONE interim featherweight kickboxing world title.

The Bangkok-based athlete continued his comeback tour with a unanimous decision win against Grigorian, putting him one step closer to an undisputed title shot against Chingiz Allazov.

Tawanchai has business to take care of before potentially facing Superbon in a rematch

Before potentially fighting Superbon again, Tawanchai will return to the ONE featherweight Muay Thai division to defend his world title. On June 7, the Thai superstar looks to extend his reign of terror in a rematch against Jo Nattawut.

Nattawut first fought Tawanchai in a short-notice kickboxing fight in Oct. 2023. Although he lost by unanimous decision, 'Smokin' heavily contributed to one of the most action-packed matchups of the calendar year, leading to a Muay Thai rematch in June.

ONE 167 goes down inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand. The June 7 event featuring two world title fights, Stamp Fairtex vs Denice Zamboanga and Tawanchai vs Jo Nattawut, can be seen live and for free on US Primetime by North American viewers with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
