Reigning ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai has starred in a handful of back-and-forth wars in his young career and is set to have another one soon.

At ONE 167, Tawanchai will put his world title on the line against newfound rival 'Smokin' Jo Nattawut on June 7 at Impact Arena.

The bout will serve as the Thai megastar's 10th bout under the world's largest martial arts promotion and while Nattawut gave him a tough fight the first time they met, albeit under kickboxing rules, Tawanchai's body of work in Mauy Thai speaks for itself.

In his ONE Championship debut, the PK Saenchai Muay Thai Gym product knocked out Irish legend Sean Clancy cleanly.

Though he would lose his next bout to Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong via split decision, he would go on to produce seven-straight wins with finishes against the likes of Saemapetch Fairtex, Niclas Larsen, Jamal Yusupov, and Davit Kiria.

The Kiria bout was fought under kickboxing rules and despite many counting out Tawanchai's power, the Thai star produced enough power to break the Georgian's arm.
