Nolan shared this thought during his recent interview with Sky Sports, where he proclaimed:

"I think he can beat Eersel. Eersel's great but George has got the Muay Thai style... It's a good fight."

'Lethal's' conviction was recently validated after Jarvis defeated Mouchcine Chafi in their showdown last April 4 at ONE Fight Night 30 via unanimous decision inside Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Nolan aims to tie his head-to-head score with Trujillo and return to the winner's circle after he absorbed a tough unanimous decision loss last February 2024 at ONE Fight Night 19, highlighted by a second-round knockdown.

The 27-year-old contender also wants to improve his ONE Championship record to five wins and four losses and continue his trajectory toward a potential shot at the coveted 26-pound golden belt.

The former WBC Muay Thai champion looks to add the Spanish star to his hit list that already has the names of Brown Pinas, Kim Kyung Lock, Eddie Abasolo, and Ali Aliev.
