Kiamran Nabati wraps up “good and difficult” training camp ahead of ONE Friday Fights 81 showdown against Nong-O Hama
Kiamran Nabati is heading into the biggest fight of his career, and he wanted to ensure that he's more than ready when he faces Nong-O Hama this Friday. The undefeated Russian slugger will face off against the former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion in a career-defining match at ONE Friday Fights 81 at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium.
Ahead of his Bangkok showdown against Nong-O, Nabati said he wrapped up his training camp just when ONE Friday Fights 81's fight week started.
Nabati started his training camp at RCC Academy in Russia before flying to Thailand and finishing off his preparations at Phuket Fight Club.
Taking to Instagram, Kiamran Nabati wrote:
"Wrapping up boot camp! This was a good and difficult training camp and it became a real test for each of us. Thanks to all the coaches and participants for their support and motivation."
Nabati holds a perfect 21-0 record in his professional career and is 3-0 under ONE Championship since his promotional debut in 2023. The 29-year-old racked up impressive unanimous decision wins over Pongsiri PK Saenchai and Avatar PK Saenchai, and secured a vicious first-round finish over Suablack Tor Pran49 at ONE Friday Fights 68.
Nabati, however, now faces the biggest obstacle in his career when he takes on Nong-O. The Thai legend is considered one of the greatest Muay Thai fighters of all time and held the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title for an insane 1,526 days, making seven straight defenses in the process.

In an interview with the South China Morning Post, Nabati said he called Nong-O out to prove himself against one of the best fighters of all time.
Nabati said:
"Brother, because I need to fight against the best fighters. I don’t want to fight against no-name fighters. I need big names."
