Superlek “refused” to go five rounds with Nabil Anane at ONE 172.
36 hours before ‘The Kicking Machine’ was set to unify his ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship with Nabil Anane’s interim title, Superlek failed to meet hydration requirements for the highly anticipated clash. As a result, Superlek was stripped of his strap.
Many assumed the fight would move forward with only Anane being eligible to win the title at ONE 172, as was the case when Smilla Sundell lost her title on the scale last May.
