Seksan Or Kwanmuang's massive 2023 campaign is about to get even busier.
Incredibly, "The Man Who Yields To No One" will compete for the eighth time this year when he faces Australia's River Daz in a 140-pound catchweight Muay Thai encounter at the blockbuster ONE Lumpinee 46 card on Dec 22.
Seksan has tasted victory in each of his seven appearances at the historic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium since his ONE debut in January, the latest of which was his ONE Fight Night debut -- a unanimous decision over Karim Bennoui earlier this month.
The 34-year-old Thai has thrilled fans so far in his ONE tenure, after opening with a "fight of the year" contender against another Aussie in Tyson Harrison.
He has also scored highlight-reel stoppages over Sean Clancy and Isaac Araya along the way.
Seksan is a living legend in Muay Thai who is hunting for a 26-pound ONE belt to add to the four Muay Thai world titles accumulated across his 282-fight professional career.
Daz's fight is close on the heels of his maiden promotional victory in September, when he stepped in on two days' notice to outpoint Nonthakit Tor Morsri at ONE Lumpinee 31.
It's a massive opportunity for the Fairtex Training Center representative.
"The Filipino Flash" holds an impressive 33-1-1 professional record.
A win over a superstar like Seksan would greatly enhance his case for one of the 3.5 million baht ONE Championship contracts that are on offer on the Lumpinee platform.
ONE Lumpinee 46 is headlined by ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai, who puts his belt on the line against former featherweight kickboxing king Superbon Singha Mawynn in a highly anticipated all-Thai showdown.
Also Joseph Lasiri will meet Prajanchai PK Saenchai for ONE strawweight Muay Thai world title, Nong-O Hama will be up against Nico Carrillo in a bantamweight Muay Thai bout, and Phetjeeja will fight Anissa Meksen for interim women's atomweight kickboxing world title.
