Petchtanong questions Nabil Anane's ability to put his height to good use: "Can he use his long limb to land on me?"

Former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion Petchtanong Petchfergus returns at ONE Fight Night 26. After making his return to action in 2024, he's now out to prove that he belongs back at the top of the division.

Following his statement win and performance against Alaverdi Ramazanov in June, he's now looking to build on that by stopping one of the most impressive win streaks on the entire roster.

At ONE Fight Night 26, Nabil Anane is set to make his kickboxing debut after putting together a run of incredibly impressive performances.

One of the key aspects of his recent wins has been how the towering rising contender has used his range to completely control his opponents.

This isn't something that Petchtanong is too concerned about because he knows that he has ways of dealing with this.

In a recent interview with ONE Championship, he dismissed the threat of his opponent's significant height and reach advantage:

"How do I deal with Nabil's long range attack? I would have to ask back, can he use his long limb to land on me? I'm not a dummy who just stands still and lets him kick me or punch me without moving or dodge."

Petchtanong can't afford to settle into a rhythm

What Petchtanong Petchfergus needs to do in his matchup with Nabil Anane is keep his opponent guessing.

Settling into a rhythm would suit his opponent because from here, he can establish his range and start to dictate the fight like he did in his recent wins over the likes of former title challenger Felipe Lobo.

The experience of the former world champion will be absolutely crucial if he's going to solve this incredibly unique problem.

Superlek Kiatmoo9 was able to do it when he welcomed Anane to the promotion but of course, the young contender has made some significant improvements since then.
