Nico Carrillo is ready to shed the heartbreak from his first loss under the ONE Championship banner.
In January, ‘The King of the North’ stepped inside the Circle as a heavy favorite to leave as the ONE interim bantamweight kickboxing world champion against replacement opponent Nabil Anane. Instead, Anane took home the gold, scoring a jaw-dropping first-round TKO over Carrillo inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.
“I was devastated. I’d never wanted the clocks to turn back so much,” Carrillo told ONE while looking back on the devastating defeat.
