WATCH: Thai megastar Superbon imparts his knowledge on young phenom Johan Ghazali in inter-generational crossover
Current ONE interim featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon proved that he's not only a savage fighter inside the ring, but also a fantastic mentor for the next generation of fighters. He was recently seen sparring with teenage phenom Johan Ghazali in his gym at Superbon Training Camp.
ONE Championship featured the two on a post on Instagram, alongside the caption:
"Learning from the best 🥊 How will Superbon vs. Tawanchai II play out at ONE 170? @superbon_banchamek @johanghazali_"
In the video, the Thai striking star was having fun exchanging light strikes with 'Jojo.' This was also an opportunity for Superbon to impart his valuable knowledge and technique to the Malaysian-American phenom and potentially help groom a future world champion.
Superbon is on a two-fight win streak right now, with back-to-back wins over Marat Grigorian in April 2024 at ONE Friday Fights 58 and Jo Nattawut in September 2024 at ONE Friday Fights 81.
The former ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion holds an impressive promotional record of six wins in the promotion. He's also preparing for his second crack at reigning ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai on January 24 at the headliner of ONE 170 card, which emanates from the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
Superbon identifies fighters from his gym who can be the next big star
Superbon continues to pave the way for the next generation of fighters, especially the athletes who are training in his gym in Bangkok. In one of his most recent interviews with ONE Championship, the 34-year-old veteran has named several fighters that fight fans should look out for, as he declared:
"There are about five to six fighters right now. Some fight at Rajadamnern. Most of them fight at ONE Lumpinee. Panrit Lukjaomaesaiwaree has won many fights in a row. If he can win one or two fights in ONE Lumpinee with style, he might be able to sign a ONE contract."
