WATCH: Superlek gets his kicking reps in with legendary Saenchai while taking a break from football

A fighter will always be a fighter wherever he is—this is something that reigning ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion and Muay Thai legend Saenchai proved in a recent video that the latter published on his Instagram account.

Saenchai and Superlek Kiatmoo9 shared a wholesome moment during a football match when they started sparring with each other in full gear and on the pitch.

The Thai legend shared this video with the caption:

“No matter where we are, it’s our boxing stadium. 😆💪 @superlek789”

As viewed in the short clip, the two combat sports superstars exchanged a few leg kicks during the short interval from playing football, and their teammates were entertained, which brought smiles and laughter all around.

Superlek is coming off a career-defining unanimous decision victory against the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion, Rodtang Jitmuangnon, from their 140-pound catchweight Muay Thai bout in September 2023 at ONE Friday Fights 34 that blew the roof off the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
