(137-29-4)

ONE FLYWEIGHT KICKBOXING WORLD CHAMPION

DIVISION: FLYWEIGHT MUAY THAI/KICKBOXING | GYM: KIATMOO9 GYM

Location: Buriram, Thailand

  • He is a former two-weight Lumpinee Stadium champion and the former WBC Muay Thai Super Featherweight World Champion.
  • He won the Sports Authority of Thailand Muay Thai Fighter of the Year award in 2012.
  • Superlek has sensational victories over notable names such as Jonathan Haggerty, Rodtang, and Takeru.
  • He holds an impressive 13-1 record inside of ONE against the greatest strikers in the world.

Growing up in the Buriram province in Northeastern Thailand, Superlek was constantly surrounded by elite Muay Thai practitioners at the Kiatmoo9 gym, especially his uncle, the legendary Singdam. This inspired a young Superlek to begin training and competing himself at the tender of 8, and his hard work and talent soon paid off. Despite his age, the technical Muay Femur stylist has already racked up over 100 wins to his name.

Superlek joined ONE Championship in 2019 and engaged in many memorable battles, defeating the likes of Taiki Naito, Walter Goncalves, and even his old rival, Panpayak Jitmuangnon, twice. And on January 13, 2023, he beat two-time ISKA World Champion Daniel Puertas to claim the vacant ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Title.

In 2023, Superlek went against his fellow countryman, Rodtang who just so happens to be one of the world’s best strikers. After having gone the distance, Superlek was awarded a unanimous decision. Fast forward to 2024, Superlek kicked the year off by defending

his Flyweight Kickboxing belt against Japaense superstar, Takeru Segawa.

Superlek will be looking to build from this momentum and cement his name as one of the striking GOATs by taking on Jonathan Haggerty for his Muay Thai World Title at ONE 168.
