By knocking out Anthony Njokuani, Regian Eersel demonstrated what happens to a fighter when he reaches his potential.
After earning a victory by unanimous decision in his professional debut in February 2019, Eersel had high hopes of continuing his ascent up the rankings and gaining momentum. The fight between ‘The Immortal’ and Njokuani didn’t get off to a good start for the boxer who was born in Suriname, who was matched up against Njokuani.
Eersel made a comeback with a second-round knockout, which led to an opportunity at the lightweight kickboxing world title. Earlier in the fight, Eersel had been dropped and thrown off balance. The clips of the fight versus Njokuani were just reposted by ONE Championship with the following caption:

Since he began competing for ONE Championship, Muay Thai and kickboxing fighter Regian Eersel has compiled a perfect record of nine wins and zero losses.
