Superbon not showing any concern for ‘heavy hitter’ Jo Nattawut’s power: “I have fought with a lot of heavy punchers”
Superbon has faced his fair share of heavy hitters, and he's fairly confident that all of them hit harder than Jo Nattawut.
This Friday, September 27, the interim ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion will strap on the four-ounce gloves for just the second time in his ONE career to take on fellow Thai superstar 'Smokin' Jo Nattawut at ONE Friday Fights 81.
Emanating from the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and airing live on pay-per-view, Superbon vs. Nattawut will headline a loaded fight card featuring a who's who of talent, including the highly anticipated returns of former ONE world champion Nong-O Hama, Japanese kickboxing icon Takeru Segawa, and 400+ fight legend Sam-A Gaiyanghadao.
Looking ahead to his clash with Nattawut inside the Mecca of Muay Thai, Superbon recognizes that his opponent is a heavy hitter. Still, he's had plenty of experience fighting some of the best and hardest strikers in the game. He told ONE Championship:
“Jo is indeed a heavy hitter. But I have fought with a lot of heavy punchers like him, like Marat Grigorian, Giorgio Petrosyan, and Chingiz Allazov in kickboxing."
Jo Nattawut is ready to add Superbon to his impressive resume at ONE Friday Fights 81
Not unlike Superbon, Jo Nattawut has spent many of his years inside the Circle competing against the best of the best.
'Smokin' Jo has gone toe-to-toe with ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix champion Giorgio Petrosyan, reigning ONE featherweight kickboxing king Chingiz Allazov, and reigning featherweight Muay Thai titleholder Tawachai on two separate occasions.
Needless to say, Nattawut is more than ready to handle the pressure of the moment—headlining one of the biggest Lumpinee Stadium cards of the year live on PPV.
Who comes out on top when two of Thailand's best throw hands in the art of eight limbs?
