WATCH: Tawanchai baits and wails Superbon with skull-crushing counter elbow in Bangkok super fight

The reigning undisputed ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai is coming off a successful defense of his world championship against Superbon in their all-time classic match in December 2023. The two Thai superstars headlined the ONE Friday Fights 46 card inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, where Tawanchai secured a unanimous decision victory.

Recently, ONE Championship published one of the highlights of the fight, showcasing Tawanchai's powerful right elbow on Superbon. Captioning the post, ONE said:

"Tawanchai answers back 💯 Will the featherweight Muay Thai king retain his crown on June 7 when he faces Jo Nattawut in a rematch at ONE 167 on @primevideo? 🏆 @tawanchay_pk"

The PK Saenchai Muay Thai Gym athlete patiently waited for Superbon, who now has the ONE interim featherweight kickboxing world championship, to attempt a kick before catching it and pulling him toward his direction to land the bone-crushing elbow straight to the challenger's temple.

Despite the power behind that strike, the durability of Superbon was on full display as he shrugged it off and continued fighting the defending world champion.

Following that successful world title defense against Superbon, the world's largest martial arts organization has booked the 25-year-old phenom for another world championship match on June 7 in the co-main event of the ONE 167 card, which will emanate inside Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

This time, he will try to fend off the challenge of Jo Nattawut and reassert his mastery against the 34-year-old veteran. It is going to be their second meeting since they already squared off in October 2023 in a featherweight kickboxing match at ONE Fight Night 15.

Tawanchai drew first blood in their head-to-head with a unanimous decision victory.

ONE 167 is available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
