The highly anticipated featherweight Muay Thai championship match between Tawanchai and Superbon has been rescheduled for ONE Fight Night 17 on Dec. 8, with Tawanchai aiming to defend his title against Superbon, who previously held the ONE featherweight kickboxing title.
The highly anticipated featherweight Muay Thai championship match between Tawanchai and Superbon has received a new date and venue. The clash will now serve as the main event for ONE Fight Night 17, set to take place on December 8 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. Fans can catch the action live on Amazon Prime Video in the United States, with coverage starting at 8 p.m. ET. Originally scheduled for October, the bout was postponed due to Superbon’s leg injury. Despite this setback, Tawanchai managed to secure a victory in a kickboxing match against Joe Nattawut via unanimous decision. Now, Tawanchai is eager to return to his true passion, Muay Thai, as he faces Superbon in what promises to be an electrifying battle.
Tawanchai’s reputation as an exceptional striker precedes him. Crowned as the 2018 Lumpinee Stadium Fighter of the Year and the 2022 Muay Thai Fighter of the Year, he is widely regarded as one of the most lethal fighters in the game. Under the ONE Championship banner, Tawanchai boasts an impressive record of 7-1. What makes his accomplishments even more remarkable is his propensity for finishing fights, with five of his seven wins in the organization resulting in knockouts. At just 24 years old, Tawanchai has already amassed over 160 professional fights, a testament to his dedication and talent.
Superbon, too, has established himself as a formidable force in the world of combat sports. With a decorated career and a series of accolades, including holding the previous ONE featherweight kickboxing title, Superbon has proven time and again that he belongs among the elite. Now making a return to Muay Thai, he aims to add another championship belt to his collection when he squares off against Tawanchai in December. As the event draws closer, more fights for the ONE Fight Night 17 card will be announced in the following weeks, generating even more excitement for fans worldwide.
