Reigning ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion, Superlek Kiatmoo9 will face Kongthoranee Sor Sommai in a flyweight Muay Thai fight at ONE Friday Fights 68. The event will be held on June 28th at the Lupinee Stadium in Bangkok.

While his belt won’t be on the line for this upcoming fight, Superlek isn’t taking it lightly. This fight will be a warm-up before Superlek takes on two-sport World Champion Jonathan Haggerty in September at ONE 168: Denver. He recently uploaded a video on his social media account showcasing his sharp punching skills.

Superlek isn’t just a kickboxing king; he’s a Muay Thai maestro for lightning-fast kicks and pinpoint striking. In his latest Instagram video, he’s pounding a rack of tires, showcasing his punching power with the caption, “The Day Is Almost Here. His caption is a reminder that his fight is just 10 days away and has fans are buzzing with anticipation.

Superlek’s training seems smart, especially considering his opponent Kongthoranee Sor Sommai is no pushover. Kongthoranee is riding on a hot streak of seven wins in a row. Superlek, however, is a legend in his own right, with nine straight victories and a reputation as one of the best strikers of his generation.

Superlek’s tire-whacking routine may be unorthodox, but recent results in the ring have shown that he knows how to get things done. As he looks ahead to his next challenges, Superlek compared the punching power of his opponents, Kongthoranee and Jonathan Haggerty, and gave his verdict on who hits harder.

ONE Flyweight Kickboxing King Superlek Kiatmoo9 is ready to return to the Circle in a big way following his huge World Title defense against Takeru Segawa at ONE 165 last January. He’s set to jump back into action on June 28th at ONE Friday Fights 68, where he’ll face Kongthoranee Sor Sommai.

But that’s not all. Three months later, Superlek will step up in weight to challenge Jonathan Haggerty for the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Championship.

Some might think Superlek’s fight with Kongthoranee is just a warm-up act before his main event against “The General,” but Superlek isn’t taking Kongthoranee lightly.

In a recent interview with the South China Morning Post, the Thai champ said, “I think Kongthoranee is also a very good fighter. [He has a] different style if you compare it with Jonathan Haggerty. I think he’s [ranked] lower but his power is superior. He’s a technical Muay Thai fighter who can actually score a KO.”

Superlek’s comments throw a wrench into the predictions of MMA experts and pundits who believe Jonathan Haggerty will be his toughest test. Does this mean they’re underestimating Kongthoranee Sor Sommai? The question is: Who poses a greater threat to Superlek: Kongthoranee or Haggerty? Let us know in the comments below.
