Canadian-English talent Jake Peacock is a big fan of young Algerian-Thai phenom Nabil Anane, who is just slightly over a month out of a rematch that has fireworks written all over it.
The Team Mehdi Zatout warrior's epic knockout win over Scottish warrior Nico Carrillo at ONE 170 last month earned him the ONE interim bantamweight Muay Thai world title and a ticket to a sequel alongside divisional king 'The Kicking Machine' Superlek Kiatmoo9.
Their unification contest will be one of five world title scraps at ONE 172: Takeru vs. Rodtang at the Saitama Super Arena on Sunday, March 23.

In a recent exchange with the South China Morning Post, Jake Peacock gave his flowers to Anane, fully praising him for his run of victories while explaining what makes him such a sensational talent.
The Dunamis Muay Thai man noted:
"I rate Nabil. He's awesome. I think he's come a long way since his debut with Superlek. I think he's...he's tough man. He's got a great range of strikes. He's also good on the inside. He knows how to use his range well. I think he's got good fight IQ."
'The One's' analysis of Anane is as accurate as one can get.
Anane doesn't look like the same young talent who Superlek finished inside the opening round of their ONE Friday Fights 22 matchup in June 2023.
The Pattay-based slugger has torn through every opponent since that setback, and he fancies his chances of pulling one back against Superlek, extending his winning run to seven while becoming the undisputed king of the bantamweight Muay Thai division.
