Regian Eersel Dominates Rungrawee to Win Vacant ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Title
Bangkok, Thailand – April 10, 2026 – In a thrilling showdown at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium, Regian Eersel has been crowned the new ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Champion. The reigning Muay Thai titleholder secured the vacant kickboxing belt by defeating Thailand's Rungrawee “Legatron” Sitsongpeenong via unanimous decision.
Eersel, a Dutch-Surinamese phenom, showcased his world-class skills over five masterful rounds. Utilizing his reach advantage, "The Immortal" kept Rungrawee at bay with a barrage of combinations and his signature jumping knees, establishing a strong lead early in the fight.
The turning point came in the third round when Eersel landed a powerful combination that sent Rungrawee to the canvas for a knockdown. Despite showing remarkable resilience, Rungrawee struggled to regain control. Eersel continued his relentless assault in the fourth round.
In the final round, Rungrawee's aggressive approach led to a costly illegal elbow, resulting in a point deduction. This fueled Eersel's offense even further, as he unleashed a fierce attack in the closing moments, solidifying his victory and his status as a two-sport ONE World Champion.
The judges unanimously scored the bout in favor of Eersel, cementing his legacy as the undisputed king of the lightweight division.
