Former kickboxing featherweight champion Superbon was not informed about Tawanchai’s health problems when he participated in the ONE Fight Night 16 event at Lumphini Stadium last Saturday to promote the fight.
Both fighters are based in Bangkok, and Tawanchai was also scheduled to perform at the event, where an in-ring showdown was scheduled.
Some fans wondered online if Tawanchai was pretending to be ill after he reposted a photo of himself out to dinner with friends that seemed to be taken on Saturday night. It was shown.

Footage of Tawanchai sparring at PK Saenchai Gym was also posted on social media on Sunday, but the newspaper understands it was recorded before he was admitted to the hospital.
Last week, the newspaper received a photo taken by the Tawanchai camp of a fighter lying in a hospital bed hooked up to an IV drip.
ONE has not officially announced Tawanchai’s health status or his withdrawal from the Super Bon fight. However, talks with both fighters have now begun to book their long-awaited third fight.
The bout was originally set to headline last weekend’s card, but Superbon withdrew in late September after sustaining a 3.54-centimeter tear in his calf muscle.
