Superlek Welcomes Yuki Yoza Challenge, Eyes Clear Win in Rodtang Rematch

Superlek Kiatmoo9, the reigning ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion, has once again found himself in the crosshairs of a hungry challenger. This time, it’s Yuki Yoza, a rising star who recently made waves in his promotional debut at ONE Friday Fights 109. After dispatching the previously unbeaten Elbrus Osmanov with a dominant striking display, Yoza wasted no time calling out “The

Kicking Machine” for a high-stakes showdown.

Yoza, known for his powerful kicks and technical precision, didn't hold back when expressing his desire to face the Thai superstar.

“It would be a fight between two fighters who have kicks that can break leg bones. I think we could have a leg-breaking battle,” Yoza said, making his intentions clear.

Superlek, ever the warrior, isn’t one to shy away from a challenge. In fact, the Thai champion welcomes the clash and expressed admiration for Yoza’s kicking prowess. Still, he made it known that he believes his experience and adaptability in both Muay Thai and kickboxing would be the deciding factor.

“Yes, absolutely. I would love to face Yuki Yoza,” Superlek said.“I think it’ll be a great fight. He has great kicks, but I have versatility in terms of my Muay Thai and kickboxing arsenal. I think it’ll be a great match.”

Superlek’s record speaks volumes. He has dominated both divisions in ONE Championship, capturing the flyweight kickboxing title by overwhelming Daniel Puertas and previously securing the bantamweight Muay Thai belt with a 49-second knockout of Jonathan Haggerty. His ability to adapt across rule sets makes him one of the most complete strikers on the roster.

With ONE Championship’s upcoming return to Tokyo this November for ONE 173, fans could see another high-profile clash between Thailand and Japan in the Ariake Arena — the same venue where Superlek outpointed Takeru Segawa in January. A matchup against Yoza on Japanese soil would add another thrilling chapter to that rivalry.

In addition to welcoming Yoza’s challenge, Superlek is also keeping a close eye on unfinished business — namely, a potential rematch with Rodtang Jitmuangnon. Their first bout at ONE Friday Fights 32 was a Muay Thai classic, with Superlek winning via unanimous decision after a fierce three-round battle. However, the fight was clouded by Superlek’s failure to make weight, which turned the anticipated title fight into a non-title catchweight contest.

Looking ahead, Superlek hopes to run it back with Rodtang — but this time with no questions left unanswered.

“Yes, that could be one of the fights because the last time I didn’t make weight,” he explained.“I just want a clear-cut, clear win this time.”

Between the callout from Yoza and a potential second clash with Rodtang, Superlek finds himself with no shortage of elite opposition. And given his track record, it’s clear that “The Kicking Machine” is ready for all comers.
