Petchtanong on Nabil Anane’s towering presence: "I have nothing to fear" 

Petchtanong Petchfergus says Nabil Anane’s height doesn't bother him at all. He's ready to overcome it when they lock horns at ONE Fight Night 26.

The multi-time striking world champion and former ONE bantamweight kickboxing kingpin meets the six-foot-three phenom inside the Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, Dec. 6.

Despite the Team Mehdi Zatout athlete's height being a threat to everyone he's faced in ONE Championship thus far, the 39-year-old doesn't see himself struggling much.

He told ONE Championship:

"When they offered me to fight Nabil, I wasn't surprised. Because I see him as a typical fighter. There's nothing special about him except his height. If our weights are the same, I have nothing to fear."

The Superbon Training Camp athlete is out to make it two victories on the trot after taking time off from his legendary career. He returned in style against Alaverdi Ramazanov at ONE Friday Fights 68, seeing off the fellow former ONE titleholder in round two.

If he can walk the talk and showcase that Anane’s height won't be too much of a barrier, it'll be a perfect way for the Muay Thai and kickboxing icon to cap his 2024.

Petchtanong certain Nabil Anane is a star in the making in ONE Championship

Though his focus is on adding victory No.360 in his illustrious career, Petchtanong admires what his opposite number brings to the table.

So much so that the Superbon Training Camp martial artist believes it won't be long until the Team Mehdi Zatout youngster becomes a force to be reckoned with on the global stage of ONE Championship. In the same interview, he continued:

"He's got a pretty good right-handed punch. He's got good knees. He'll run out of opponents in a couple of years in ONE."
