Addressing the media in his post-ONE Fight Night 32 interview backstage, Jaosuayai said:
"So right now, I have an injury to my right hand. I think I would need maybe two to three weeks to recover, and then maybe in a couple of months, or three months, I should be good, and then I should be back in the ring."
Needless to say, Jaosuayai has quickly become one of the most exciting rising stars in the world's largest martial arts organization, and fans can't wait to see him back in action.
ONE Fight Night 32: Nakrob vs. Jaosuayai on Prime Video was broadcast live from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand last June 7th.
Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action via replay on-demand with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi credits family for unwavering support in his career: "Let's keep fighting"
To say that Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi is feeling like a million bucks is an understatement.
Following his knockout victory over Nakrob Fairtex at ONE Fight Night 32 on Prime Video, however, Jaosuayai made sure to thank his close family and friends for their support.
He said on Instagram:
"From the beginning until today, it hasn't been easy at all. I'm just an ordinary little kid who was willing to invest in leaving my family at the age of 7 to box and earn money to support myself and my family. Yes, for me it wasn't easy at all, but I had no other choice. There was only boxing that I thought I could help myself with and earn money to help my family. Until today, I have to thank myself and my heart that refused to give up. Thank you to my family, Sor Dechapan gym, and all the adults who supported me. My goals are still far ahead. Let's keep fighting. Let's go!"
