‘Smokin Jo’ shared his mindset to onefc.com ahead of his clash against Lessei at ONE Fight Night 17 on Prime Video on December 8 at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The 34-year-old Thai Top Team affiliate said:
“When it comes to me, fight camp, I always make sure it’s about me. It’s not about my opponent. I don’t think about my opponent.

Tawanchai glad to share the ring with dangerous Jo Nattawut
ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai defeated Jo Nattawut by unanimous decision in their kickboxing showdown back in October. But heading into the contest he said that he was glad to share the ring with the veteran fighter, who he believed would bring the best out of him.
The 24-year-old champion shared his thoughts on ‘Smokin Jo’ in an interview with onefc.com, saying:
“Jo has a sharp and heavy hand. And, he has more experience in kickboxing than me. His step is good. I consider him a tough opponent. However, it is good for me. When someone who lacks experience like me fights with a veteran. It will help me improve myself quickly..."
Sure enough, Jo Nattawut gave Tawanchai a hard time in their clash, taking the fight to the latter and showing no let-up all the way to the end.
It is the spirited showing that Nattawut is looking to take cue from as he returns to action on December 8 against ONE Championship-debuting Luke Lessei of the United States in a featherweight Muay Thai clash at ONE Fight Night 17 on Prime Video.
