Denis Puric is one of many who have faith in Nabil Anane. The 20-year-old Algerian-Thai phenom is one of the most talented Muay Thai fighters in the world today and was crowned the ONE interim bantamweight Muay Thai world champion a few weeks ago.
Anane defeated no.2-ranked contender Nico Carrillo via first-round knockout to capture the interim gold, and make history, as well as set up a highly anticipated rematch with divisional king Superlek Kiatmoo9 later this month.
Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview, Puric talked about Anane's recent performance and why he's so impressed.

'The Bosnian Menace' said:
"Nabil's looking f***ing amazing. He just took out Nico Carillo in a couple of minutes. You can't deny that kid. And he's so dangerous because he's so big, so long, you know. He's got long limbs, long reach. So let’s see."
Nabil Anane is set to return to action in a couple of weeks to rewrite history and claim the biggest win of his young career.
