Where does this boldness come from? A Japanese fighter has declared his goal to defeat Rodtang and Superlek, two top Thai boxing champions.
On 29 Jan 2026, ONE announced more exciting fights for ONE Fight Night 41, set for Saturday, 14 Mar 2026, live from Lumpinee Boxing Stadium (Ramintra) to viewers worldwide during U.S. prime time, corresponding to 08:00 a.m. Thai time. The card features 29-year-old strong Karen fighter Black Tiger Thor.Pran49 from Phetchaburi against undefeated 23-year-old Japanese opponent Hiu in flyweight kickboxing (125-135 lbs).
This matchup is quite intriguing. Black Tiger recently lost to Pakorn P.K. Saenchai and aims to return to winning form, while Hiu has won all four of his fights in ONE events.
Hiu admits Black Tiger is no ordinary opponent, noting his muscular legs and extensive experience against top fighters. He acknowledges this will not be an easy fight but is determined to win. If the Japanese fighter succeeds, he believes he could face Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Superlek Kiatmuu9, two of Thailand’s top fighters, with a real chance to win—confident that it will be him.
