“I’m going to show the whole world” - Kiamran Nabati looks to prove his worth as a fighter by beating legendary Nong-O

Unbeaten Russian bantamweight Muay Thai fighter Kiamran Nabati is getting ready for his toughest test in ONE Championship when he takes on legendary Thai fighter and former longtime ONE bantamweight Muay Thai king Nong-O Hama.

Nabati was last seen taking home an impressive first-round knockout over the dangerous Suablack Tor Pran49 at ONE Friday Fights 68 last June.

Now, the younger Nabati is set to trade leather with the veteran Nong-O at the 'Mecca of Muay Thai' this weekend, and the 29-year-old can't wait to put on a show.

​

​

He told South China Morning Post in a recent interview:

​

"Yes, I think yes [I haven’t fought anyone at this level], but now, I’m going to show the whole world that I am ready for this. I know Suablack is not like Nong-O, but I’m prepared and ready for this one. I will show Superbon and everyone in the world who I am."

Show Superbon? Looks like Nabati has a bone to pick with the interim featherweight kickboxing king. That matchup is also an interesting one, and the doors should open for the Russian star should he get past Nong-O.

Needless to say, everything hangs in the balance for Nabati in this Nong-O showdown.
