Two More Bouts Added to the Exciting ONE Friday Fights 46 Card

A pair of interesting Muay Thai battles have been booked for the already stacked card at ONE Friday Fights 46: Tawanchai vs. Superbon, which will surely add even more excitement for the promotion’s final event of 2023. The Friday, December 22 event inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

It will now feature a showdown between Nabil Anane and Muangthai PK Saenchai and a meeting between Suablack Tor Pran49 and Craigh Coakley. Teen striking sensation Anane was thrust into the spotlight in his first bout in the world’s largest martial arts organization.

Will Nabil Anane come back stronger next time around?

Anane drew a Muay Thai showdown with flyweight kickboxing king at ONE Friday Fights 22 in June. Unfortunately, the two-time WBC Muay Thai World Champion succumbed to a quick first-round knockout that evening, but he dusted himself off and went back to work against Nakrob Fairtex three months later. 

Anane dominated proceedings this time, and he finished his Thai foe in the second round to remind the world how dangerous he is. He’ll face another stiff challenge when he takes on the veteran striker Muangthai in a 136-pound catchweight Muay Thai battle on December 22.

“Elbow Zombie” has over 200 victories to his name, and he has carried over his success in Thailand’s highly competitive stadium circuits to ONE, where he owns a 7-2 slate. The PK Saenchai representative will no doubt hope to claim another victim with his relentless elbows at ONE Friday Fights 46 as he strives to prove why he is among the best strikers on the planet today. 

Meanwhile, Suablack has proven to be a star in the ONE Friday Fights series this year, claiming a perfect 3-0 record, with all his wins coming by way of knockout. With the 27-year-old’s impressive form of late, he may be another impressive win or two away from securing a highly coveted six-figure contract in ONE Championship.  

Friday fights 46 is as exciting as they get

However, Coakley will be gunning for the same in his ONE debut, and the Irishman has already proven that he can fight his way to a contract after winning the Road to ONE tournament earlier this year. This fight between two hungry competitors should prove to be one of the most entertaining on the night’s lineup.

ONE Friday Fights 46 will be headlined by a trio of World Title bouts, with Superbon Singha Mawynn challenging Tawanchai for the ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Title in the main event, interim strawweight Muay Thai titleholder Prajanchai PK Saenchai locking horns with divisional king Joseph Lasiri in a unification bout in the co-main, and Anissa Meksen taking on Phetjeeja for the interim ONE Women’s Atomweight Muay Thai World Championship just before both.
