"I got a lot of things to learn" - Teenage phenom Nabil Anane admits there's still a ton of work to do to reach his full potential

Rising star Nabil Anane recently admitted that he has a lot of work to do before eventually fighting for the world title. The teenage sensation put the bantamweight Muay Thai division on notice last Friday after putting on a clinical performance against former world title challenger 'Demolition Man' Felipe Lobo at ONE Fight Night 24.

The surprising upset has positioned Anane right into the top rankings amongst some of ONE Championship's biggest stars, including Nico Carrillo, Liam Harrison, and Saemapetch Fairtex.

But even Anane can admit that to be among the stars, you have to earn your stripes as a serious contender. Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA at the post-event interviews, the 20-year-old standout said:

"I want to have more experience. I gotta improve myself more and more and more because I did a good performance, but I got a lot of things to learn. But one day will be my day, you know? Like I said, let's wait. No rush."

The replay of ONE Fight Night 24 is available on demand for Prime Video subscribers in North America.
