Reigning ONE lightweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion ‘The Immortal’ Regian Eersel is growing more comfortable in four-ounce gloves, much to the dismay of his opponents.
The 30-year-old Dutch-Surinamese superstar holds both the 170-pound Muay Thai and kickboxing belts in ONE Championship but is a relative newbie in ‘the art of eight limbs’, having only competed in Muay Thai twice before.
When he steps back into the circle for his next world title defense, it will mark just his third time donning the four-ounce gloves.
In a recent interview with ONE Championship, Eersel talked about how he’s grown fond of fighting in Muay Thai.
