Nabil Anane and Suakim Sor Jor Tongprajin headline The Inner Circle 25 in a ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title eliminator on Friday, August 7, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.
Anane, a former undisputed champion, was elevated to the divisional throne in June 2025 before losing the belt to Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon by decision this past March. Prior to that defeat, he had defeated Nico Carrillo for interim gold in January and avenged an earlier loss to Superlek two months later.
Suakim, a three-division Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Champion, has not lost since April 2024 and enters on a seven-fight winning streak that includes four knockouts.
In the co-main event, Abdulla Dayakaev and Superlek meet in a bantamweight Muay Thai rematch. Their first meeting at The Inner Circle 14 this past May ended in a split decision for Dayakaev after he dropped Superlek in the first round.
Superlek, the reigning ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion, has since been stripped of his bantamweight Muay Thai title for missing weight, lost to Anane, and been defeated by Yuki Yoza in a kickboxing bout. Dayakaev holds a 16-3 record.
The card also features a ONE SAMURAI Featherweight Kickboxing Tournament quarterfinal between Marat Grigorian and Mamuka Usubyan. The winner will earn a shot at reigning ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon.
Grigorian, a three-time Glory Kickboxing World Champion, carries a three-fight finishing streak into the bout. Usubyan holds a 24-2 record and a seven-fight winning streak, and has never been knocked out.
The entire card includes five bouts:
- Nabil Anane vs. Suakim Sor Jor Tongprajin (Muay Thai – bantamweight)
- Abdulla Dayakaev vs. Superlek (Muay Thai – bantamweight)
- Marat Grigorian vs. Mamuka Usubyan (kickboxing – featherweight)
- Tahaneak Nayokatasala vs. Dabdam Por Tor Tor Thongtawee (Muay Thai – strawweight)
