Teenage Rivals And Career Crossroads Define Three New ONE Friday Fights 170 Additions
Yonis Anane fights under a famous surname, but his next assignment at ONE Friday Fights 170 inside Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, September 11, is entirely his own to win or lose.
The 19-year-old, younger brother of former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nabil Anane, holds the distinction of being the youngest-ever WBC Muay Thai World Champion and a 48-10 career record. Three promotional wins built real momentum before back-to-back losses interrupted it, and September 11 offers a chance to remind fans what made him a prospect in the first place.
Standing across from him is Ricardo Sanchez, a fellow 19-year-old whose own story reads like a fast-forward highlight reel. The Mexican striker made his ONE debut only this past April, claiming a TKO victory in kickboxing before adding a Muay Thai win in June, and his two-fight unbeaten start sets up a genuine generational and stylistic clash against a more experienced counterpart.
Elsewhere on the card, a battle of momentum plays out between Kongchai Chanaidonmueang and Ayad Albadr. The 23-year-old Kongchai has become one of the platform’s most recognizable faces with a striking record of 78-16, and he now rides a four-fight winning streak into Bangkok at the height of his confidence.
Albadr’s road back has been just as compelling in its own right. The 24-year-old Iraqi dropped his first two outings before reeling off five straight victories, a resurgence that speaks to the resilience of a fighter who trains under Team Mehdi Zatout and refused to let an early setback define his ONE Championship career.
The flyweight Muay Thai pairing of Yodlekpet Or Atchariya and Mohamed Taoufyq brings together more than 130 combined career fights of experience against a 21-year-old still finding his footing. Yodlekpet has claimed four Muay Thai World Championships across a storied career and arrives on a three-fight winning streak of his own.
Taoufyq, for his part, has picked up three wins during his ONE tenure, including a highlight-reel second-round knockout in his most recent outing, and he will look to prove his best form has arrived at exactly the right moment against one of the division’s most decorated names.
