ONE Championship has 3 matches for the title: "Iron Man" vs "God of Feet"

Published:2023-02-10 By Lâm Gia(Meta Sports) Comments
Three key Muay Thai - Kickboxing matches in the near future have been announced by ONE Championship with the "hottest" names of the tournament.

Superlek Kiatmuu9 won the flyweight Kickboxing belt convincingly thanks to a victory over Daniel Puertas in January at ONE Fight Night 8. The Thai boxer's worthy achievement after 5 consecutive victories, help him temporarily forget the loss in 2021 against former king Ilias Ennahachi.

But the next challenge of the Thai "God of Feet" is judged not to be simple, "Iron Man" Rodtang Jitmuangnon.

Defeating all opponents when joining ONE Championship in 2018, it seems that it is difficult for any European fighter to have any hope of surpassing Rodtang in the Muay Thai arena. That is also the reason why boxers born in 1997 gradually switched to Kickboxing matches recently.

The rivalry between Rodtang and Superlek is considered the focus of the ONE Fight Night 8 event on March 25 in Singapore.

Similar to compatriot Rodtang Jitmuangnon, Nong-O Gaiyanghadao has proven the level of a Muay village legend with 10 wins in ONE.

In the upcoming confrontation at ONE Fight Night 9, he will face young British boxer Jonathan Haggerty in his 7th defense of his bantamweight Muay Thai title.

After two defeats to Rodtang Jitmuangnon in 2019-2020, Haggerty returned with three wins at ONE to confirm his status as a top Muay fighter of the tournament. This was also Haggerty's first official match when he moved up to bantamweight.

The October 2022 showdown between Regian Eersel and Sinsamut Klinmee is considered one of the best matches of the year for the ONE Championship, with the defending champion from the Netherlands winning.

That is also the reason why ONE decided to give Regian Eersel a chance to beat the Thai opponent in the second meeting. Currently, the specific time of the match is being determined.

Regian Eersel is also the number one Kickboxing in the world at 77kg that ONE Championship owns. The Dutchman has beaten all eight opponents he has faced at the tournament since 2018.

Although only coming to ONE in 2022, Sinsamut Klinmee is expected to be Eersel's number one opponent thanks to his previous impressive achievement: consecutive knockouts of monuments Nieky Holzken and Liam Nolan. Now, Sinsamut will have to find the right way to win the championship at ONE Championship for the first time.
