Suablack Tor Pran49, a prominent figure in ONE flyweight Muay Thai from Thailand, quickly decided the fate of his bonus after securing a significant victory at ONE Fight Night 45.
During the event at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, the seasoned fighter overcame an early knockdown to defeat Scotland’s Stephen Irvine, known as “El Matador,” in the second round of their co-main event. This impressive comeback earned Suablack a US$50,000 bonus from ONE Championship. Instead of keeping the money for himself, Suablack had a specific recipient in mind.
“I didn’t have any plan to spend on this bonus yet, but I want to give it all to my wife, because she is always by my side and supports my career path,” he told ONE Championship.

“She supports by buying the stuff, like my strength, and supports everything for the fight. And before that, when I got the bonus, I used it for others. So, this time I plan to use it for my wife and myself.”
Suablack sets sights on a kickboxing rematch with Hyu
Now that Suablack has decided how to use his bonus, he is turning his attention to future challenges. The veteran with a record of 63-23 is open to exploring different rulesets to achieve his goals.
In the same interview with ONE, the Thai fighter expressed his readiness:
“I’m ready for both Muay Thai and kickboxing. I was born as a fighter, so whatever, I’m OK to do so. Yeah, definitely, I want to rematch with Hyu in kickboxing, and later on, anyone. I’m not that far. I think a couple more wins and it should be that time.”
Securing a victory over Hyu would resolve ongoing matters, but Suablack’s ultimate goal is to enter the conversation for a world title. ONE Fight Night 45 is available for on-demand viewing for Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
