“It’s Always Been a Dream” – Tayfun Ozcan Is Ecstatic After Receiving an Opportunity to Fight at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium

Tayfun Ozcan has accomplished much in his professional martial arts career, and he will tick another important box on his list this Friday. “Turbine” will step inside the hallowed halls of the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on June 9, to square off with former ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon Singha Maywynn at ONE Fight Night 11: Eersel vs. Menshikov on Prime Video. 

The iconic venue has hosted some of the most legendary Muay Thai battles ever seen in the sport, and as such, fighters from all over the globe dream of writing their names among the famed list of athletes who have competed there.

Ozcan is honored to have the opportunity to compete in the storied stadium, and he can hardly contain his excitement for his upcoming match. “It’s my second time in Thailand, and it’s my first fight in Thailand. So, it’s going to be very nice. I’m looking forward to it,” the 31-year-old told ONE Championship.

“I cannot tell you how excited I am. It’s always been a dream to fight at Lumpinee because I watched all the fights from back in the days from all the Thai fighters. So, I’ll be right there.” His experience will be more unforgettable given that he’ll stand across the fabled ring from one of the best Thai fighters of his generation.

Ozcan was slated to clash with Superbon in October 2022 – when the Thai superstar held the divisional crown. Unfortunately, his upcoming foe pulled out at the last minute due to sickness, leaving the Dutch-Turkish striker open to face Marat Grigorian.

They’ll finally get their hands on each other this Friday, however, and both fighters will be hungry to pick up a crucial victory in their respective quests to challenge reigning ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Chingiz Allazov. Reflecting on finally getting his opportunity to face Superbon, Ozcan says he is delighted to be meeting him under the ONE banner.

“I was very happy. Because the fight would originally happen in October. I was pumped up for a fight, and I felt a little disappointed when it didn’t go on,” he said. “And now, I’m very happy to get the fight again because a lot of people were asking for it. Before we were both signed to ONE, people were asking, ‘When are you going to fight Superbon?’ So now, it’s the perfect time to fight him.”
