“I put on my best performance” - Kongthoranee vows to showcase prime form against Superlek
Thailand's rising star Kongthoranee Sor Sommai is heading into his biggest fight of his career this Friday, June 28, at ONE Friday Fights 68 inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Kongthoranee is slated to face the ONE flyweight kickboxing king Superlek Kiatmoo9 in a barnburner flyweight Muay Thai clash.
It is not surprising that he received this opportunity, thanks to three knockouts out of his eight victories so far, and fans are clamoring to see how far he will go against his legendary compatriot.
In an interview with the South China Morning Post (SCMP Martial Arts), Kongthoranee elaborated what his game plan is to face Superlek.
He said:
"I don't even think of getting victory against Superlek. I just do it day by day. Every day I just train my hardest. I just do my best and prepare myself the best (way)."
Kongthoranee also added:
"It's not my goal to like, I have to win against him or anything. The ultimate goal is that I get into the ring and I put on my best performance."
