ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion Ilias Ennahachi and #2-ranked contender Superlek Kiatmoo9 will have their highly anticipated rematch after the titleholder’s controversial win back in 2021.
The two flyweights will battle for Ennahachi’s belt at ONE Fight Night 6: Superbon vs. Allazov on Saturday, January 14.
With both fighters confident in their abilities, the upcoming bout between Ennahachi and Superlek is sure to be an intense battle for the flyweight crown.
That said, we break down three reasons we’re excited to see the two face off again at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
They May Finally Settle The Score
The flyweights first met at ONE: FISTS OF FURY in February 2021, where the Dutch-Moroccan superstar in Ennahachi made his successful second World Title defense.
Although he was declared the winner by unanimous decision, his victory was not without controversy, as some fans argued that Superlek should have won instead.
With almost two years having elapsed since their last meeting, both have had plenty of time to prepare for this rematch, which will finally determine who the true ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion is.
Superlek’s Superb Fight Skills
Superlek, the Thai powerhouse known as “The Kicking Machine,” has earned his formidable reputation with a career record of 131-29-4.
His opponents are well aware of his powerful right kick, yet they are often unable to defend against it. In 2021 alone, the 27-year-old has demonstrated why he’s a feared force, defeating Panpayak Jitmuangnon, Walter Goncalves, and Taiki Naito in the Circle.
His fight IQ is as sharp as ever and will surely challenge the reigning ONE World Champion.
Ennahachi’s Relentless Pressure
Ennahachi is unbeaten in the Circle and owns a 37-3 professional record. The 26-year-old is an aggressive fighter who forces his opponents to fight at his pace.
His debut fight against Petchdam Petchyindee at ONE: DREAMS OF GOLD in August 2019 is the most visible highlight on his fight reel. Ennahachi defeated Petchdam by KO in the third round to capture the ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Title.
Ennahachi’s aggressive, hard-hitting style combined with Superlek’s technical precision and creative offense makes this a fight that’s sure to entertain.
