The reigning and undisputed ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion, Nabil Anane of Algeria and Thailand, is looking to return later this year, and the 21-year-old is eyeing a massive card in 'the land of the rising sun.'
Anane wants in on the blockbuster ONE 173 card in Tokyo, and he already has a couple of opponents in mind that he would like to face.
The Team Mehdi Zatout standout mentioned about potential rematch with a former two-division, two-sport king, 'The Kicking Machine' Superlek Kiatmoo9, and English multi-sport, multi-division titleholder 'The General' Jonathan Haggerty.
Speaking to veteran MMA reporter Nick Atkin in a recent interview, Anane talked about potentially facing Superlek and Haggerty, when asked, as long as they made weight.

"I don’t know. I don’t know. If it should be, of course, why not? I won’t refuse any fights, you know. Just come on weight and just fight. Would be great. I like Japan."
