ONE Championship has announced an explosive main event for ONE Fight Night 34, scheduled for August 2 at Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium. Reigning two-sport king Regian "The Immortal" Eersel will put his ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Title on the line against surging British contender George "G-Unit" Jarvis.
The Surinamese champion has built an impressive legacy since joining ONE in 2018. With 13 fights under the promotion's banner and only one loss, Eersel has established himself among the world's elite pound-for-pound strikers.
His journey began with capturing the inaugural ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Title in a memorable decision victory over Dutch legend Nieky Holzken, followed by four successful defenses.
Eersel's ambitions expanded beyond kickboxing when he set his sights on two-sport glory. In October 2022, he showcased his versatility by defeating Thai knockout artist Sinsamut Klinmee to claim the inaugural ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Title, utilizing his trademark crafty footwork and precise long-range striking.
Since capturing Muay Thai gold, "The Immortal" has successfully defended his crown twice while also engaging in a thrilling three-fight kickboxing rivalry with Alexis Nicolas, demonstrating his ability to excel across multiple combat sports disciplines.
Standing opposite Eersel will be 24-year-old George Jarvis, who brings serious credentials to this title challenge.
The British striker previously held a WBC Muay Thai World Title and dominated the UK circuit before transitioning to ONE in September 2023 at ONE Friday Fights 35.
Despite losing a close decision in his promotional debut, Jarvis has since compiled an impressive four-fight winning streak, earning himself a lucrative six-figure contract and a coveted spot on ONE's global roster.
His relentlessly aggressive, crowd-pleasing style has marked him as the division's most dangerous contender.
This stylistic clash promises fireworks, pitting Jarvis's all-action approach against Eersel's smooth technical prowess and proven finishing ability.
