“There Will Be Fireworks”-Superlek Gears Up for Intense Showdown Against Kongthoranee at ONE Friday Fights 68

Current ONE Kickboxing Flyweight World Champion, Superlek Kiatmoo9, is just two weeks away from his highly anticipated return to Muay Thai action. He’ll be facing Kongthoranee Sor Sommai in a Flyweight Muay Thai Bout at ONE Friday Fight 68, scheduled for June 28th at the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok.

This fight will mark Superlek Kiatmoo9’s comeback since his last outing at ONE 165: Superlek vs. Takeru held in Tokyo. Meanwhile, Sommai’s most recent fight was against Jaosuyai Mor Krungthepthonburi at ONE Friday Fight 58 back on April 5th, 2023. Based on their ONE Championship records. Superlek appears to be the more experienced fighter. However, Superlek’s latest sparring video suggests he’s not underestimating Sommai’s capabilities.

Superlek Kiatmoo9’s official Instagram account recently uploaded a reel captioned, “2 more weeks to my fight against Kongthoranee, there will be fireworks!” The video showcases Superlek’s lightning-fast kicks and sharp boxing skills. However, the fight will undoubtedly be a Muay Thai clash, meaning knees and elbows will also be part of the combatant’s arsenal. This fiery clip suggests Superlek is determined to leave no room for error and secure a decisive victory.

Now, we wait to see how the fight unfolds and wish Superlek the best. Looking ahead, a major event looms on the horizon i.e. ONE 168: Denver. There, the Thai Champ will face a massive challenge in a title fight against the two-division ONE Muay Thai Champion, Jonathan Haggerty.

Superlek handed a challenging match before ONE 168: Denver

Superlek Kiatmoo9, a two-time Muay Thai World Champion, has a massive fight coming up on September 6th at the Ball Arena in Denver. He’ll be defending his Muay Thai Title against the reigning ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion, Jonathan Haggerty. Traditionally, champions nearing a title fight clear their schedules to focus solely on the upcoming challenge. However, the Thai phenom still has a non-title fight on his plate before facing Haggerty.

Furthermore, to prepare for his move up to Bantamweight and title defense against Jonathan Haggerty, Superlek Kiatmoo9’s packed on some serious muscle, adding 10 pounds (4.5 kg) in just two months! This quick weight gain is a gamble, but it could be the key to unlocking his potential in the new weight class. For Kongthoranee, this presents a golden opportunity to pull off an upset against one of the best fighters in the ONE Championship. However, Superlek’s 11-fight win streak can’t be ignored. While Kongthoranee is also riding a winning streak, it remains to be seen if his momentum can match Superlek Kiatmoo9’s experience.

Nevertheless, the question remains: Will the Flyweight fight with Kongthoranee take a toll on Superlek’s training for his upcoming title fight at ONE 168: Denver? We’ll have to wait and see how this plays out. Stay tuned for updates!
