ONE Championship featherweight Muay Thai champ Tawanchai PK Saenchai has been released from hospital, with talks under way to rebook his title fight against Superbon Singha Mawynn.
The 24-year-old spent a week in hospital being treated for a “serious virus”, a source told the Post, and was released on Saturday.
Tawanchai’s illness caused the Singapore-based martial arts promotion to scrap its ONE Fight Night 17 main event for December 9 in Bangkok.
Former featherweight kickboxing champion Superbon was not aware of Tawanchai’s health issue when he attended Saturday morning’s ONE Fight Night 16 event at Lumpinee Stadium to promote the fight.
With both fighters based in Bangkok, Tawanchai had also been set to appear at the event, with a face-off in the ring planned.
