Tawanchai PK.Saenchai's huge success in the ONE circle

Thai-born phenom Tawanchai PK.Saenchai knocked out Sean Clancy in 2021 and went on to tremendous success in ONE Championship. He dropped one match against former GLORY Kickboxing world champion Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong but recovered from this loss with authority.

In 2022, the Thai fighter would knock out Saemapetch Fairtex with his lightning fast hands. Next, he would dominate former WBC Muay Thai world champion Niclas Larsen, finishing him via knockout.

Most recently, the 23-year-old would unseat long-reigning world champion Petchmorakot Petchyindee over a five-round war. The Thai prodigy has accomplished his dreams and now holds the ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title.

Next, he will look to defend his throne at ONE Fight Night 7 on Prime Video, which is booked for February 10. Looking to take his crown is three-time Russian kickboxing national champion Jamal Yusupov, who's undefeated thus far in ONE.
