ONE Championship has rescheduled Tawanchai PK Saenchai’s Muay Thai title fight against Superbon Singha Mawynn for December 22, a source has told the Post.

The highly anticipated bout will bolster a stacked year-end ONE Friday Fights 46 card at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.

It was all set to headline ONE Fight Night 17 on Prime Video on December 9 at the same venue, but Tawanchai withdrew from the bout after spending a week in hospital with a “serious virus”.
Tawanchai was released from hospital on Saturday, the same source said, and talks got under way the next day to find a third date for the title fight.
