Former ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon Singha Mawynn and #2-ranked Marat Grigorian have both partaken in storied bouts throughout their career, but nothing like the interim World Title trilogy bout that awaits them at ONE Friday Fights 58.
The duo will meet in the evening’s main event on Friday, 5 April, inside Lumpinee Boxing Stadium’s iconic ring to decide who is next for ONE featherweight kickboxing king Chingiz Allazov. The pair have collided twice up to this point, sharing one victory each. Superbon left victorious in their most recent outing, and since then, the Thai striker feels Grigorian’s game has failed to evolve.
“Marat’s strength is his endurance. He can absorb any attack really well. He’s able to keep punching until the final round without running out of gas. If I’m not fit enough, I’ll be no match for him in the long game,” Superbon said. “I think I have improved more than Marat. He still fights in the same way as our first fight that I lost. He’s strong, but his style is still the same.”

Superbon’s style has already seen him successfully fend off Grigorian when the Thai superstar held the gold at ONE X in March 2022. And with the chance to chase the belt waiting on the other side of ONE Friday Fights 58, Superbon will be eager to have the last laugh against Grigorian.
Superbon wants to exact “revenge” on Chingiz Allazov
Before former ONE featherweight kickboxing king Superbon Singha Mawynn lost his crown to Chingiz Allazov in January 2023, the Thai star enjoyed a lengthy stay at the top of the mountain – and he’s relishing the opportunity to give Allazov a taste of his own medicine. However, that doesn’t mean Superbon is overlooking Marat Grigorian in ONE Friday Fights 58’s main event.
“If I can become the champion, I won’t run away from anyone. I’m ready to fight with everyone. I’d even rather rematch with Chingiz than get the World Title,” Superbon said. “Chingiz was a blemish on my career. I will go back to him and get revenge.”
