“I’m at the end of my career” – ‘Smokin’ Jo Nattawut wants ONE Championship gold before he sails off into the sunset

Third-ranked ONE Championship featherweight Muay Thai contender 'Smokin' Jo Nattawut of Thailand believes he is destined to become ONE world champion before he decides to hang up his gloves for good.

The 34-year-old veteran says he's at the tail end of his career, and wants to wear the ONE Championship belt when he rides off into the sunset.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Nattawut talked about what winning the gold would mean to him.

'Smokin' Jo stated:

"The World Title would mean my work has been successful. I’m at the end of my career. Everywhere I go, I always get the title. So this is another belt to prove that I am really a champion."
