ONE Championship has had a stellar year with a focus on Muay Thai, but the world’s largest martial arts organisation saved the best till last with ONE Lumpinee 46: Tawanchai vs. Superbon on Friday.
The action-packed card inside Bangkok, Thailand’s Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, offered up world-class all-striking affairs. And with the magic of Muay Thai in four-ounce gloves, an array of finishes was undeniable as ONE Championship closed out 2023.
In a historic headliner, Tawanchai PK Saenchai finally went toe-to-toe with former ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon Singha Mawynn. However, Tawanchai’s profound striking enabled him to edge out Superbon and pick up the majority decision and retain his gold after all five rounds.
The co-main event saw Prajanchai PK Saenchai make short work of Joseph Lasiri. The Thai legend took the fight to his Italian nemesis, needing less than 90 seconds to unify the ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Championship with an elbow.
Getting the World Title action started, “The Queen” Phetjeeja punched her way to the ONE Interim Atomweight Kickboxing World Championship after five rounds of action with decorated striker Anissa Meksen, pocketing the unanimous decision as a result.
