Superbon Singha Mawynn has withdrawn injured from his ONE Championship title fight against Tawanchai PK Saenchai.

The former kickboxing champion was set to challenge for Tawanchai’s featherweight Muay Thai title in the main event of ONE Fight night 15 in Bangkok on October 7.

But he injured his leg in sparring during his fight camp, the Post understands. ONE chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong confirmed the news on Wednesday.

During a Facebook Live question and answer session with fans, Chatri said the martial arts promotion would look to find a late replacement opponent to step in at Lumpinee Stadium against Tawanchai.

He added that he hopes to re-book the fight for later this year, with Superbon’s injury not thought to be long-term.
