ONE World Title Eliminator: Nabil Anane, Suakim PongSuphan Set for High-Stakes Clash On August 7

Former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nabil Anane will face Suakim PongSuphan PK in a World Title Eliminator at The Inner Circle 25 on Friday, August 7. The event will stream live on live.onefc.com, and the winner will earn a guaranteed title shot at reigning divisional champion Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon.

For Anane, the bout is a direct chance to recover the gold he lost earlier this year. He said the stakes were clear after ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong outlined the reward for the winner, making Friday’s fight a key step in his return to the top.

Suakim, 30, enters the fight on a seven-fight winning run. The Thai veteran gives up major size to the 6-foot-4 Anane, but he still carries the tools to spring an upset. Anane expects him to apply steady pressure and attack from the opening moments.

Anane said he will not change his own approach, even with Suakim likely to come forward. He described the fight as a war and said he must defend well while sticking to his own game plan. With a World Title chance on the line, he said one of them will be finished, and he is ready to give everything.

“In this fight, either he goes down, or I do. One of us is definitely getting finished. I have to make my comeback. I’ll give it everything. No more talking for this fight; I just can’t wait to step inside the ring and fight,” he said.
