ONE Championship: Regian Eersel to face Dmitry Menshikov in Fight Night 11 main event, Superbon returns
- ‘The Immortal’ to defend lightweight Muay Thai title against newcomer Menshikov, a former stand-out in Glory Kickboxing
- Former featherweight kickboxing king Superbon will face Tayfun Ozcan, with Kade Ruotolo defending grappling belt against Tommy Langaker
ONE Championship lightweight Muay Thai king Regian Eersel will defend his title against newcomer Dmitry Menshikov in the Fight Night 11 main event, a source has told the Post.
The June 10 event – which will be broadcast on Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service in the US and Canada – will be hosted at Bangkok, Thailand’s famed Lumpinee Stadium.
Eersel, also the promotion’s lightweight kickboxing champ, is undefeated in ONE, and is riding back-to-back victories over Sinsamut Klinmee.
The Surinam-born Dutchman, 30, became the division’s inaugural champ last October with a decision over the Thai, and defended his title with a fourth-round TKO on March 17’s Friday Fights 9 card at Lumpinee.
He faces another tough challenge in the form of 25-year-old Russian Menshikov – a former stand-out at welterweight in Glory Kickboxing, who is riding an 11-fight win streak.
