ONE Championship: Superbon Singha Mawynn takes first step towards regaining kickboxing crown when he faces Marat Grigorian
- The 33-year-old Thai is the headline act at ONE Friday Fights 58 at Lumpinee Stadium next Friday
- He faces the Armenian for a third time, but on this occasion for the interim featherweight kickboxing title
Twenty twenty-three was a disappointing year for Superbon Singha Mawynn, who lost his ONE featherweight kickboxing world title and saw his 12-fight winning streak come to an end.
The Thai hopes to have more success in 2024, and in one respect he already has, when he got to meet UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones in a Bangkok bar and a sparring match almost broke out.
“We talked about training together one day and we tried to do sparring in the bar, tried to show our skills,” said Superbon. “He’s a nice guy, very humble, very friendly. I was happy to meet him and I will train with him one day.”
Before that, though, Superbon has a more pressing matter to attend to: winning back his world title when he headlines ONE Friday Fights 58 next week.
The 33-year-old will face old rival Marat Grigorian for the third time, with the score at one apiece, and this time the interim featherweight kickboxing title is on the line.
