ONE Championship has announced an exciting main event for ONE Fight Night 34, set to take place on August 1 in U.S. primetime. Regian “The Immortal” Eersel will defend his ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Title against rising British contender George “G-Unit” Jarvis. This thrilling matchup will unfold at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Eersel, a standout among the world's best pound-for-pound strikers, boasts an impressive record with 13 fights in ONE Championship and only one loss. Since his promotional debut in 2018, Eersel has made a significant mark in the sport, first winning the inaugural ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Title. He achieved this feat with a remarkable decision victory over the legendary Dutch fighter Nieky Holzken.
Following his initial success, Eersel defended his kickboxing title four times before setting his sights on Muay Thai dominance. In October 2022, he showcased his exceptional footwork and long-range striking in a victory over Thai knockout artist Sinsamut Klinmee, earning the honorary status of the first ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Champion.
Since capturing the Muay Thai title, Eersel has successfully defended his championship twice and engaged in a thrilling kickboxing rivalry with Alexis Nicolas. With a reputation as an all-time great on the line, Eersel's next challenge comes in the form of George Jarvis, who has been steadily making waves in the Muay Thai scene.
Jarvis is no stranger to success; he previously secured a WBC Muay Thai World Title and dominated the competitive UK Muay Thai circuit before entering the ONE Championship arena. He made his promotional debut in September 2023 at ONE Friday Fights 35. Although Jarvis narrowly lost that bout by decision, he has since bounced back with an impressive four-fight winning streak.
With each victory, Jarvis has earned a six-figure contract, securing his position on ONE's prestigious global roster. Now, he faces a pivotal moment in his career as he prepares to clash with Eersel. At just 24 years old, Jarvis is known for his crowd-pleasing and aggressive striking style, positioning him as one of the most dangerous contenders in the division.
This matchup promises to deliver an exhilarating contrast of styles. Eersel's technical precision and ruthless finishing instincts will be challenged by Jarvis's relentless aggression and well-rounded striking ability. Fans can expect an action-packed bout that showcases the best of both fighters.
