“It’s gonna be me” - Superbon looks to KO Jo Nattawut, take his place against Tawanchai at ONE 169
ONE interim featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon of Thailand is looking to book his ticket to a Muay Thai world title opportunity by taking out countryman 'Smokin' Jo Nattawut and taking his place in Atlanta.
Nattawut is scheduled to challenge ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai for his gold at ONE 169: Atlanta on November 8 at the State Farm Arena, but Superbon will get the first crack at 'Smokin' Jo next week at ONE Friday Fights 81.
If Superbon is victorious, he is hoping to take Nattawut's place opposite Tawanchai in the United States.
The Superbon Training Camp founder told South China Morning Post in a recent interview:
"I cannot say if Tawanchai or Jo is going to win, but next Friday, I’m gonna win for sure. So, let’s imagine, if I knock Jo Nattawut out, maybe it’s gonna be me, not Jo. Of course. I always plan for the belt."
Needless to say, there are a lot of moving parts, and much is at stake.
Superbon's upcoming showdown with Jo Nattawut has major world title implications, and Tawanchai would be best served to watch this fight closely.
