"On his way back to the top" - Get inspired by Superbon's grit to rise from the ashes in his bid for Muay Thai gold
Interim featherweight kickboxing king Superbon is taking another stab at Muay Thai this year with a high-stakes bout against No. 1-ranked contender Jo Nattawut.
Their thrilling battle comes with great anticipation after both men fell to long-standing divisional king Tawanchai PK Saenchai. In a high stakes fight never-before-seen, the world would like to know how Superbon fares with Tawanchai's arch nemesis, Jo Nattawut on September 27, at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Thailand.
As ONE Championship's new Instagram video explained, Superbon is desperate to earn the No. 1 spot in the rankings "with a win over #1 contender 'Smokin' Jo Nattawut."
In the caption, they detailed:
"On his way back to the top. Can Superbon nab the win against 'Smokin' Jo Nattawut in their featherweight Muay Thai showdown at ONE Friday Fights 81 on September 27?"

Jo Nattawut has more than a Muay Thai match against Superbon to prepare for in 2024
Jo Nattawut has two difficult matches ahead of him in back-to-back order this year. The first against Superbon at ONE Friday Fights 81, and the second against Tawanchai at ONE 169: Atlanta for the Muay Thai strap.
The Thai superstar spent most of his career waiting for the right opportunity to strike. Of course, he had major career victories under his belt, but he was mostly brushed aside whenever Tawanchai or Superbon was in the room. But not anymore.
'Smokin' Jo stole the hearts and minds of the fans with his warrior spirit and never-say-die-attitude against Tawanchai on two occasions. Even if he came up short twice - although the fans are still divided about those results - Nattawut has a third opportunity to settle their trilogy once and for all in his adopted home in the United States.
Watch Tawanchai vs Nattawut III take place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, on November 8, 2024.
Tickets for ONE 169: Atlanta are available via Ticketmaster.
