ONE Championship: Regian Eersel says tough training camp for George Jarvis paid off: “I put all the hard work behind the scenes”

Reigning and undisputed ONE lightweight Muay Thai world champion ‘The Immortal’ Regian Eersel of Suriname and the Netherlands credits his recent knockout success to intense preparations for his latest world title defense.

Eersel put his gold on the line against British brawler ‘G-Unit’ George Jarvis at the recently concluded ONE Fight Night 34: Eersel vs. Jarvis on Prime Video earlier this month, and scored an emphatic 84-second knockout victory.

Speaking to veteran MMA reporter Nick Atkin in a recent interview after his victory, Eersel explained how an intense training camp for the fight made all the difference.
