“Superlek Kiatmoo 9”, Thailand’s favorite boxer, 28 years old from Buriram, has a big fight lined up to defend his ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Championship (125 – 135 lbs.) for the second time, facing “Take Ru Segawa”, a 32-year-old superstar boxer from Japan who will enter the ring for the first time with ONE at ONE 165, which will be broadcast live from the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan. On Sunday, January 28th, starting at 3:00 p.m. Thailand time.
Most recently on Sunday, January 21st. “Superlek” has opened the Muay Thai Academy MTA boxing camp in the Rama 4 area where he currently trains to welcome the media army for Open Workout activities, practicing and showing off his body to show off his fitness for the media to take close-up photos. Along with giving an interview, he opened up about his readiness before entering the ring that is coming up in the next few days.
“Superlek” has opened up about his readiness before the fight with “Takeru” saying that he doesn’t feel any pressure. Aiming to use the strength of the weapons that are more powerful to end the game quickly to extinguish the cheers of the local fans. This fight will be my third time in Japan. Honestly, I don’t have any pressure. Because I see meeting Takeru as a more exciting challenge. He is a fast fighter. A good punch combination. But in terms of the weight of the weapons, I think I have more. I want to close the game as quickly as possible. and wanted to show off his skills to local sports fans that I can compete with famous athletes who are their number one.”
As for the issue of weight gain that many people are worried about. “Super Lek” revealed that he had prepared well. I don’t want to repeat the same mistake as in my last fight where I exceeded my limit by 5 pounds in the fight that defeated Rodtang Jitmuangnon at ONE Lumpini 34 on 22 September. Ready to appeal to Thai sports fans to help send encouragement to invade and bring victory back to their homeland.
“This fight, I fought at my original weight of 135 lbs. Right now I’m overweight by about 2 kg. This is quite different from the last fight where I couldn’t make weight. Some are worried about the cold weather in Japan. Before leaving, my team and I set a goal to achieve a healthy weight. Or at least not more than 1 kg. When you get to Japan, just practice a little more and you can make the right weight. This time I had the opportunity to fight abroad. I want all Thai sports fans to help cheer. I will repay you to the best and fullest extent possible.”
Originally “Superlek” has a program to defend his throne for the second time against “Elias Mahmoudi”, his Algerian opponent, in the ONE Fight Night 18 battle on Saturday, January 13th. But that plan had to be scrapped as the latter withdrew due to injury. As a result, he was substituted to replace Rodtang Jitmuangnon, ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion, who had an injury from training. Until having to withdraw from the fight with “Takeru”, this is considered an appropriate adjustment so that the competition can continue.
For the ONE 165 battle, in addition to “Superlek”, there was also another Thai athlete in the ring to join in sending support and encouragement, namely “Killer Boy” Sittichai Sit Song Phi Nong. The 32-year-old kickboxing legend faces his eternal rival “Marat Grigorian,” a fierce fighter of the same age from Armenia. They will fight under the rules of kickboxing, catch weight (156.5 lbs.). There are also many other pairs that come to add excitement to this program to make it worthy of a world-class competition that fans of sports. Fighting and waiting
