At just 21, Nabil Anane has already reached heights most fighters only dream of. The 6-foot-4 Algerian-Thai standout is the ONE Interim Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion, known for his sharp technique, long reach, and powerful striking.
Anane’s path to the top began early. Growing up in Pattaya, he dabbled in karate and taekwondo before fully committing to Muay Thai at age 11. Supported by his parents—especially his father, who had a boxing background—Anane trained daily after school, quickly developing the discipline and drive needed for success.
His first fight came at 11, against a 15-year-old with far more experience. Though he endured heavy leg kicks, he won—and realized he could earn money through fighting. That small payday gave him a big boost in motivation.
This year, Anane defeated Nico Carrillo to capture interim gold and followed it up with a stellar showing against Superlek Kiatmoo9, confirming his status as one of Muay Thai’s brightest young stars.
