Superbon: ONE Excels at ‘Satisfying the Fans’ Needs’

Former One Championship featherweight kickboxing titleholder Superbon Singha Mawynn has fixed his focus on reaching a professional pinnacle in a second discipline.

The 33-year-old Buakaw Banchamek protégé will challenge Tawanchai PK Saenchai for the featherweight muay thai championship in the ONE Friday Fights 46 headliner this Friday at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. Superbon enters the ring with a 4-1 record inside the Chatri Sityodtong-fronted promotion. He last competed on June 9, when he brought down Tayfun Ozcan with a head kick in the second round of their ONE on Prime Video 11 confrontation. Tawanchai, meanwhile, has won all seven of his bouts under the ONE banner. He last fought at ONE on Prime Video 15, where he laid claim to a three-round unanimous decision over Jo Nattawut in a non-title clash in October.

Now more than three years into his One Championship tenure, Superbon buys into the company’s approach.

“I like their production, lighting and marketing,” he told Sherdog.com. “ONE’s matchmakers know what they’re doing, and they give us a match we want to watch, like me versus Tawanchai. I think they are good at satisfying the fans’ needs. Other promotions want to do the same level as ONE, but they can’t.”

Superbon pointed to the recent showdown between current ONE flyweight kickboxing champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 and reigning ONE flyweight muay thai titleholder Rodtang Jitmuangnon as further proof of the organization giving its fans what they desire. Superlek took a three-round unanimous decision from Rodtang at ONE Friday Fights 34 in September.

“This match was superb,” Superbon said. “Both of them are the best. It’s satisfying. They gave us everything we wanted to see: technique, power, Superlek [received] first blood, Rodtang got counted [by the referee] and more. This fight lived up to the hype.”
