ONE Championship has added Thai fighters Nabil Anane and Suakim PKSaenchaigym to its ONE Friday Fights 81 card next month.
Anane has been matched with Soe Lin Oo in a battle which pits two bantamweights in outstanding form against one another at Lumpinee Stadium on September 27.
Anane has won four fights in a row at the promotion’s Friday night series at the Bangkok venue. Standing 6ft 4in (1m 95cm), he is the tallest fighter in the division and still just 20 years of age.
He has been matched with an opponent from Myanmar who made his name competing in Lethwei.
Soe Lin Oo has won three in a row since switching to Muay Thai and there is bound to be a big contingent of Burmese fans supporting him.

Suakim, meanwhile, will face Otis Waghorn. A catchweight contest, it is set for 140lbs (64kg) and has ‘fight of the night’ potential because the Englishman is coming off a very impressive KO win over Kongklai AnnyMuayThai.
At 32, Suakim is a much more experienced fighter than Anane and won his first Lumpinee title as a bantamweight in 2013 before he went on to win belts at the stadium competing in the featherweight and lightweight divisions.
He was inactive for three years after seeing his career prospects delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.
In 2023, Suakim made a comeback and has won two fights out of four on ONE Championship’s Friday night shows, with all of these bouts ending inside the distance.
The ONE Friday Fights 81 card is almost complete with nine bouts confirmed.
The interim featherweight Muay Thai title fight between Superbon Singha Mawyn and Jo Nattawut will now serve as the main event.
In the co-main event, Japanese superstar Takeru has been matched with Thailand’s Black Panther.
Other big names booked include Sam-A Gaiyanghadao and Nong-O Gaiyanghadao.
