As a kickboxer he already became world champion ten times, but since last night Regian Eersel is also the best in Muay Thai. In Malaysia, the man from Southeast defeated his Thai opponent Sinsamut Klinmee, who was unbeaten up to that point.
Eersel’s win was narrow, because at the end of the game a so-called split decision to offer a solution. In this case, that meant that a majority of the jury chose Eersel as the winner.
For Eersel – also known as The Immortal – it was his first Muay Thai match in four years. It’s just a little different than kickboxing. For example, the gloves are much smaller and, among other things, blows with the elbows are also allowed.
