Regian Eersel takes on rising star Alexis Nicolas at ONE Fight Night 21

Despite holding an unbeaten streak of nearly 2,500 days, Regian Eersel’s dominance in combat sports may be challenged on April 5. His opponent, French standout Alexis Nicolas, boasts an impressive record of 23-0, with a recent win against Magomed Magomedov at ONE Friday Fights 47 in January, and is determined to claim Eersel’s lightweight kickboxing world title.

Despite facing many challenges, Nicolas managed to obtain an ISKA world championship title, leading to an invitation to showcase his skills on the largest international platform for martial arts.

“Everybody is saying it’s too soon to be in the ring with a guy like Eersel,”Nicolas said in an interview with ONE. “But I’ve been working all my life for fights like this.”

Is it possible for a new star to emerge as the top contender in the lightweight kickboxing division in The Land of Smiles?
