On 21 Dec 2025 GMT+7, the featherweight kickboxing event at the year-end ONE Lumpinee 137 featured a main event between Tawanchai P.K. Saenchai Muay Thai Gym, the featherweight Muay Thai world champion, and Liu Meng Yang, a tough and durable fighter from China.
However, in this fight, Tawanchai was struck by a strong inner right kick, causing him to be unable to stand from the first round, resulting in a shocking TKO loss for Thai boxing fans nationwide. Reports indicated that Tawanchai suffered a leg fracture, requiring a period of medical rest.
Recently, the specialist doctor overseeing Tawanchai confirmed that the "Left Star" will only need to rest for 6 months and can return to physical training to prepare for his next fight.
"An update on Kaan Tawanchai PK Saenchai: the doctor has completed surgery, and he is currently in recovery. His wife, child, and family are closely caring for him. The doctor has permitted him to continue recovery at home starting tomorrow. The doctor said he will need about 6 months of rest before returning to physical training and boxing. Regarding the fractured bone in his leg, other boxers who have had similar injuries have fully recovered and returned to compete normally. Fans can be assured. We send our support for Kaan's speedy recovery and hope to see him back in the ring soon. Keep fighting, brother. (Note: The images are for illustration and encouragement only.)"
