Tawanchai PK Saenchai, the reigning ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Champion, successfully defended his title against Jamal Yusupov in February 2023 at ONE Fight Night 7. The fight, which took place at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, ended in a stunning first-round TKO. Tawanchai’s powerful leg kick to Yusupov’s lead leg rendered his opponent unable to continue, securing Tawanchai’s victory and maintaining his 26-pound golden belt. This was Tawanchai’s fifth win in ONE Championship, solidifying his status as a dominant force in the organization.
Looking ahead, Tawanchai is preparing for a highly anticipated rematch against Superbon, the current ONE Interim Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion. The two will face off in a championship bout on January 24 at ONE 170, also at Lumpinee Stadium. Tawanchai has already defeated Superbon in their previous encounter in December 2023, where he claimed a unanimous decision victory. Now, Tawanchai aims to further prove his superiority in the rematch and reaffirm his dominance in the featherweight division.
