Seksan sees a bright future for former opponent Nico Carrillo: "He would one day be a champion"
Thai legend Seksan Or Kwanmuang believes that his former bantamweight Muay Thai opponent Nico Carrillo will have a bright future in ONE Championship very soon.
The seasoned veteran has been keeping a close eye on the Scotsman ever since they both joined the company early last year. For Seksan's part, you just never forget a guy you lost a match to.
And if they were to ever cross paths again in ONE Championship, Seksan would probably be the first person to say that Nico Carrillo has transformed into a dangerously skilled striker since they fought at Siam Warriors Super Fights in 2022.
Seeing how Carrillo stands firmly at No.1 in the stacked division, Seksan believes that it's only a matter of time before he becomes the next bantamweight Muay Thai world champion.
'The Man Who Yields To No One' told the South China Morning Post:
"There's a lot of improvement in his power, in his speed, and I think he would one day be a champion."
Although it remains unclear if Seksan and Carrillo will cross paths again, there's one person that Seksan is dying to fight before retiring.
At ONE 168: Denver, the former WBC Muay Thai world champion will lock horns with British superstar 'Hitman' Liam Harrison in a clash of legends at the Ball Arena in the United States. Their super fight is expected to serve as a massive barnburner on Friday, September 6.
Tickets for ONE 168: Denver are available via Ticketmaster.
