Eersel vs Nicolas trilogy fight ready to rock Lumpinee Stadium

According to ONE Championship, the trilogy bout between Regian Eersel and Alexis Nicolas — which will determine the lightweight kickboxing title’s fate — is set to take place at Lumpinee Stadium, Bangkok on Saturday (5/4).

The two fighters have recorded different results in their previous two meetings — Nicolas ended Eersel‘s eight-year dominance through combinations of punches and low kicks at ONE Fight Night 21, while Eersel responded with a dominant victory thanks to his aggressive style six months later.

“I lost my spirit because I won too often,” Eersel stated. “The loss to Alexis reignited the fire within me.”

“Now I’m ready to settle everything. If there’s a chance, you’ll see Nicolas sleeping.”

The Surinamese fighter emphasized that his victory in the second fight — serves as concrete proof to his team and fans that he still deserves to hold true champion status.

This highly anticipated trilogy bout represents the culmination of their fierce rivalry— with both fighters now aiming to settle the score and claim the title. The stakes are high, as Eersel looks to reclaim his dominance while Nicolas aims to prove his first victory was no fluke.

The outcome of this showdown could shape the future of the lightweight division in ONE Championship.
