Thai superstars Tawanchai PK Saenchai and Superbon have a long-standing Muay Thai rivalry in ONE Championship, with the former holding the upper hand after going 2-0 in their head-to-head matchup.
Their first encounter took place in December 2023 at ONE Friday Fights 46, where the PK Saenchai standout successfully defended his ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title, winning by decision.
In their showdown, both fighters came out swinging, engaging in spirited exhanges that had the audience at the edge of their seats. Tawanchai banked on his thunderous kicks to the body and elbows to inflict telling hits while Superbon had well-timed counters that rocked the divisional king.

ONE Championship looked back to the epic battle in a recent post on YouTube for fight fans to relive and enjoy.
Check out the video below:
The two top strikers had their rematch back in January, with Tawanchai scoring a more dominant win by stopping Superbon by TKO following three knockdowns.
Despite the losses he has absorbed, Superbon, the reigning ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion, wants another shot at the Muay Thai gold.
Tawanchai returns to action at ONE Friday Fights 137
Before any trilogy match between Tawanchai and Superbon happens, the featherweight Muay Thai world champion will return to kickboxing first in his scheduled fight later this month.
The venue is ONE Friday Fights 137 on Dec. 19 at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. He will take on Chinese striker Liu Mengyang in a featherweight kickboxing clash.
Tawanchai is looking for a bounce-back win after losing by TKO to Japanese kickboxer Masaaki Noiri for the interim featherweight kickboxing belt in his last match in March.
Looking to frustrate him in his rebound push is Liu, who is coming off a victory back in September, beating by decision Thai Shadow Singha Mawynn.
ONE Friday Fights 137: Tawanchai vs. Liu is available in Asia primetime. For more information on how to watch it, check out onefc.com.
