Liam Nolan is poised to restart his campaign in ONE Championship, with his much-anticipated comeback bout scheduled for live broadcast on Sky Sports in the early hours of Saturday morning. This fight is a pivotal moment for Nolan as he aims to advance towards a future world title opportunity.
Nolan`s previous fight ended in a defeat to Nauzet Trujillo last year. He was set to confront Trujillo once more in a rematch to settle the score; however, Spain`s Trujillo unexpectedly withdrew from their second scheduled contest on short notice.
Following this last-minute change, the British fighter will now face Abolfazl Alipour Andi in a Muay Thai matchup. The event will unfold at the renowned Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok and can be viewed live on Sky Sports Action, commencing at 2 AM on Saturday.
A decisive victory in this upcoming encounter could potentially set Nolan on a direct path to face his British counterpart, George Jarvis. Jarvis is also recognized as a rapidly ascending talent within the lightweight division, making a prospective showdown between the two an exciting prospect.
Nolan believes a successful outcome will significantly boost his journey towards a world title shot. Nevertheless, he anticipates that Jarvis will first challenge Regian Eersel, the reigning ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Champion, before he gets his chance at the championship belt.
