When Suablack Tor Pran49 steps into Lumpinee Boxing Stadium on September 26, he will be across the ring from the fighter he once idolised.

For years, Seksan Or Kwanmuang has been one of Muay Thai’s most beloved warriors, famous for his relentless style and his ability to march forward no matter the punishment.

Now Suablack will try to hand that same man a defeat at ONE Friday Fights 126.

“It is bittersweet for me,” Suablack told the Post. “I have loved Seksan since I was about 17 years old. I used to follow him when he fought at Rajadamnern.

“Back then he was already earning 300,000 baht a fight while I was only making 5,000. I never thought I would reach this level, and now I get to share the ring with him.”

At 29 years old, this is a crucial juncture in Suablack’s career. He is both popular and talented, and this bout represents another opportunity to rise into ONE Championship’s elite and a chance to rack up a win over a huge name.
