He is currently on a 20-fight win streak and the Surinamese-Dutch fighter is celebrating the accomplishments he's earned along the way. Eersel posted on Instagram:

"I Am ... ✅ The first one that fought the first Kickboxing match in One Championship. ✅ The first Lightweight Kickboxing World Champion of One Championship. ✅ The first Lightweight Muay Thai World Champion of One Championship. ✅ The first 2 sport Surinamese 🇸🇷 World Champion of One Championship. ✅ 20 Fight Win Streak. ✅ 7 Years Undefeated. This one is for the history books. Remember the name. The journey has just begun."

The 29-year-old is putting together an incredible legacy and continues to add more achievements to his name.

At ONE on Prime Video 3 this past weekend, he defeated Sinsamut Klinmee to add Muay Thai gold to his mantle. He has now made history as a two-sport world champion.

The only other fighters who have been able to earn world titles in ONE Championship across two different sports simultaneously are all-time greats Sam-A Gaiyanghadao and Stamp Fairtex.
