Even before making his ONE Championship debut this week, 19-year-old Nabil Anan already feels like a winner, with a chance to fulfill his dream of fighting for a great organization.
The Pattaya-born Algerian fighter takes on Thai superstar Superlake Kiatmo 9 at ONE Friday Fights 22 on June 23 in Bangkok. The two appear in a Muay Thai flyweight match, which is part of an 11-fight show that takes place at the famous Lumpini Boxing Stadium.
Speaking to ONE Championship, 6-foot-2 Nabil Annan said it was his dream to fight under one and he’s excited to finally make it happen.
He said:
I was like, “Wow, this organization is a very big organization.” I want to fight there one day when I grow up. And now it’s time. I am so happy chasing my dreams one step at a time. I’m coming.”
Nabil Annan is on his way to winning for the first time for him, training under coach and ONE veteran Mehdi Zatoot at the Venum Training Center in Pattaya.
He also gets help from top classmates like former world bantamweight champion Alaverdi Ramazanov and former muay thai lightweight title contender Sensamut Klinmi.
The Algerian fighter is aware of the tough challenge that awaits him at ONE Friday Fights 22 but is undeterred and aims to shock and awe.
Superlek, meanwhile, is looking to maintain its position as the number one contender in the division and stay on track in its push to become the single world two-sport champion. ‘The Kicking Machine’ also held the ONE flyweight title in kickboxing, which he successfully defended back in March.
ONE Friday Fights 22 will be streamed for free on the ONE Championship YouTube channel.
