Nabil Anane

Nabil Anane made his ONE debut at just 19 years old, and despite his tender age he has shown that he belongs among the flyweight Muay Thai elite. 

The towering Algerian-Thai was born in Pattaya, Thailand, and started his martial arts journey at age 7 when he trained in karate and taekwondo.

His talents quickly shone through when he began Muay Thai at 11 years old. By 14, he was plying his trade at the talent laden Venum Training Camp under the watchful eye of retired ONE star Mehdi Zatout. 

The move saw him rack up wins on the ultra-competitive Bangkok stadium circuit, and in 2022 Anane made history when he became the youngest-ever WBC Muay Thai World Champion in history at just 17 years old. 

The Pattaya native earned his opportunity to impress under the ONE banner in 2023 after he claimed the WBC strap for a second time. 

Anane’s unique build makes him a handful for any opponent. Standing 6-foot-2, he towers over most flyweights. 

But don’t let his physique fool you into thinking that he doesn’t pack power. The youngster’s record is littered with knockout victories, particularly by way of devastating knees and terrorizing long punches. 

Anane will look to end proceedings early once again at the blockbuster ONE Friday Fights 46: Tawanchai vs. Superbon on December 22. He locks horns with Thai veteran Muangthai PK Saenchai at the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
