In order to regain his winning streak, Nong-O Hama has joined forces with his former opponent and fellow Muay Thai icon Saenchai to assist him in training for his upcoming fight on April 5.
On Friday, the ex-ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion will attempt to break a two-fight losing streak where he suffered consecutive brutal knockouts from Jonathan Haggerty and Nico Carrillo.
Returning to the renowned Lumpinee Boxing Stadium for a highly anticipated ONE Friday Fights 58 event, the Thai fighter will face off against his fellow countryman Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai, who is currently on a winning streak.
“More than ready,”Nong-O wrote on Instagram. “The 3 months of practice were the most fun. Thank you to the trainer team. and all boxing teachers. See you this Friday.”
Prior to his recent difficulties, Nong-O had an impressive winning streak of 10 fights, defeating notable opponents such as Saemapetch Fairtex, Rodlek PK Saenchai, Felipe Lobo, and UK crowd-pleaser Liam Harrison.

The Ultimate Showdown: Kulabdam vs. Nong-O Hama at ONE Friday Fights 58

With a record of 7-3 under the ONE banner, ‘Left Meteorite’ has showcased his strength in his past three bouts, knocking out Tyson Harrison, Fariyar Aminipour, and Julio Lobo in the first round.

Despite Nong-O being 37 years old, which is 12 years older than his opponent Kulabdam, he will still have the advantage of age in the bout.
