“This is your fight” – Fans split between two-sport champ Regian Eersel, French star Alexis Nicolas in looming world title clash

There is a split among fight enthusiasts on who will emerge victorious in the upcoming world title match between Regian Eersel and Alexis Nicolas at ONE Fight Night 21.

The current world champion from Suriname is set to defend his ONE lightweight kickboxing world title against the rising French star ‘Barboza’ Alexis Nicolas at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Thailand on Friday, April 5.

As the clock ticks down, the excitement of the fans only increases as they eagerly anticipate the outcome of the highly anticipated main event featuring two undefeated strikers.

The recent poster released by ONE Championship featuring Eersel and Nicolas has garnered strong support from fans, who have expressed their admiration for these European-based strikers online.

The ONE Fight Night 21 will be streamed live on April 5 exclusively for North American subscribers in Canada and the US on Amazon Prime Video, at no extra cost.

Regian Eersel predicts a tough battle against French opponent Alexis Nicolas in the ring

Ever since the beginning, nobody has been able to replicate Regian Eersel’s fight-ending offense in ONE Championship.

Eersel’s extensive experience with 65 career bouts has equipped him with the skills to face a wide range of strikers in both kickboxing and Muay Thai. This is evidenced by his long-standing reign as a world champion under the ONE banner.

It’s evident that he excels at handling pressure and effectively utilizes his natural height and reach to his advantage. Additionally, Eersel holds the ONE lightweight Muay Thai world title and has successfully defended his kickboxing championship in both disciplines, solidifying himself as the most formidable opponent in any form or style of competition.

Although eager to face a different type of striker in Alexis Nicolas, ‘The Immortal’ has concerns that Nicolas may struggle to match his pace.

In an interview with ONE, the 31-year-old experienced fighter stated:

“My biggest advantage I think is my experience, my pressure going forward, and my aggression. I think he will struggle with that. I would say I’m a different kind of fighter. I am really going to put the pressure on him, and he will feel it.”
