Regian Eersel Claims Vacant ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Title
Bangkok, Thailand – April 10, 2026: At an exciting ONE Championship event held at the legendary Lumpinee Stadium, Regian Eersel demonstrated his dominance to secure the vacant ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Championship.
In the main event, the reigning Muay Thai titleholder, Regian Eersel, outpointed Rungrawee “Legatron” Sitsongpeenong with a unanimous decision victory. The Surinamese-Dutch fighter showcased a masterclass over five rounds, solidifying his status as a top-tier competitor.
Eersel, known as “The Immortal,” effectively used his reach to control the distance, landing a high volume of strikes from the outside in the first round. His signature jumping knee techniques kept Rungrawee on the defensive throughout the initial rounds, allowing Eersel to build a significant advantage on the scorecards.
The momentum shifted dramatically in the third round when Eersel unleashed a powerful combination that sent Rungrawee to the canvas for a knockdown. Despite the Thai fighter’s resilience in surviving the onslaught, Eersel maintained his relentless pressure in the fourth round.
In the final round, Rungrawee attempted to take the initiative, but his aggression led to an illegal elbow, resulting in a point deduction. This incident seemed to fuel Eersel’s offensive output, as he finished the match with an explosive display of striking to seal his victory.
All three judges scored the bout in favor of Eersel, crowning him the undisputed lightweight king and a two-sport ONE World Champion once again.
