25 Jun
Summary
- Nabil Anane seeks return to top against red-hot Suakim.
- Suakim boasts a seven-fight winning streak, former champ status.
- Event streams live from Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium.
Nabil Anane, formerly the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion, is set to compete again on August 7, facing a significant challenge from Suakim Pongsuphan PK. Anane, known for his imposing frame and effective use of reach, previously held the interim and undisputed bantamweight Muay Thai titles before losing his championship reign.
His upcoming opponent, Suakim, is currently experiencing a remarkable surge in his career. The veteran fighter has secured seven consecutive victories, showcasing formidable pressure, body attacks, and clinch work. Suakim is a three-division Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Champion, and his current winning streak positions him as a serious contender in the bantamweight division.
The bout is scheduled to take place at The Inner Circle 25, which will be broadcast live from Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium. This fight adds considerable excitement to a card that also features a rematch between Abdulla "Smash Boy" Dayakaev and Superlek.
In a separate development, Dmitrii Kovtun's previously scheduled bout against Suakim has been changed. Kovtun will now face Felipe Lobo at ONE Fight Night 45 on July 17. Kovtun enters this matchup on a two-fight win streak, while Lobo, a two-time ONE World Title challenger, aims to rebound from a recent loss.
