is already a breakout sensation in ONE Championship, and he has all the potential to reach the top in the world’s largest martial arts 🐈organization. 

Next, the 20𝓰-year-ol🌄d phenom will square off against lethwei legend in a bantamweight Muay Thai clash at  on September 27. 

Although Anane lost in his ONE debut against pound-for-pound great , the setback ☂only spurred him on – and he’s taken big scalp after b🌳ig scalp to earn the .

The surging Algerian-Thai striker will be looking 👍for his fifth straight win and another step forward when he returns to action in Asia primetime at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. 

Before A🌸nane steps into the ring 🍰for another big test, check out three reasons why he could be a future superstar in the world of Muay Thai. 

#1 He’s Already Beaten Top Names 

While Anane’s 37-5 professional record is impressive, it’s still early days compared to some of his experienced peers in ONE’s stacked ba🗹ntamweight Muay Thai division.  

Still, the yoඣungster already has some incredible🌃 names on his resume that put him ahead of the curve. 

After becoming the youngest WBC Muay Thai World Champ🤡ion in history, he jumped in to face current ONE Kickboxing and Muay Thai World Champion Superlek in his big-show debut.   

That matchup represented 🧜a massive step up in competition, but Anane has since beaten a host o𝔉f elite names, including seasoned Muay Thai World Champions and , along with two-time ONE World Title challenger . 

At this point, it’s clear that An𓆉ane is ready to mix it up with the best of the best for a long time to come. 

#2 He’s Incredibly Tall

Anane’s oppo✃nents have consistently struggled to deal with his unique frame. 

Despite competing at the bantamweight limit of 145 pounds, he stands at a colossal 6-foot-4, which is a height that꧒ most of his peers have never had to encounter inside the ring.

But it’s not enough to just ha🐽ve that height; the Pattaya resident knows how to use it.

Anane has 🔜very long limbs that can land from way outside of his foe’s range in any fight as he throws sharp co♊mbinations and long kicks. 

He can al🔯so use those limbs to score crushing knees in the clinch when the distance closes, meaning he is dangerous no matter what range his rivals try to beat him in. 

#3 He’s A Finisher 

On the surface, Anane’s praying mantis-like frame might not look as power🧜ful as those of his stockier counterparts, but he ♏makes the leverage pay off. 

Notably, he has knocked out four opponents in his last six wins, in♉cluding Kulabdam and , who have b🙈oth shown their durability against other big hitters.  

The Team Mehdi Zatout representative has a potent rightꦰ hand that can turn out the lights ꦬif it lands on his opponent’s chin.  

His knees can also get🍎 the job done, and he has sharp elbows that have helped him dispatch rivals in previous🎃 fights.  

This makes Anane incredibly dangerous for the rest of the bantamweight division – but exciting for fans, who will always tune♊ in to see him in action.
