The 6-foot-4 Muay Thai star drew level in his head-to-head series with ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 thanks to a flawless performance to win via unanimous decision, practically erasing any lingering memories of his first-round knockout to 'The Kicking Machine' in his June 2023 ONE debut.

The promotion posted a graphic on Instagram asking fans who Anane's next opponent should be, featuring a trilogy with Superlek, ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion and former 145-pound Muay Thai king Jonathan Haggerty, or Rodtang Jitmuangnon.

"Everything went according to plan, and thanks to Mehdi Zatout and his team, who have come up with a plan with him and trained me very hard for this fight.
