"Revenge in his hometown" - Superbon looking to pull one back for Tawanchai by beating Masaaki Noiri at ONE 173

The reigning and undisputed ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion, Superbon, of Thailand, wants to take the ‘W’ for the away team when he heads into hostile enemy territory for his next fight.

Superbon is looking to exact a revenge mission on behalf of his Thai compatriot Tawanchai, who suffered a brutal knockout loss to Japanese striking specialist Masaaki Noiri earlier this year.

Noiri stopped Tawanchai at ONE 172 to capture the interim featherweight kickboxing gold, and now Superbon is preparing to face Noiri on his home turf in Japan at ONE 173 in November.

"For all the fans that cheered for me just now, and told me I should get revenge over Masaaki, I will get this revenge in his hometown."
