Regian Eersel (born 16 December 1992) is a Surinamese-Dutch kickboxer. He is the current ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Champion. As of 1 August 2020, he is ranked the #3 welterweight in the world by Combat Press.[1]

Biography

Eersel was born in Paramaribo, Suriname and moved to the Netherlands with his family when he was four years old. At the age of 15, he started training at Sityodtong Gym in Amsterdam. His nickname, The Immortal, was given to Eersel in this early amateur era. His teammates gave it to him, as he never used the break time between the rounds to sit and regain breath.[citation needed]

As it was not easy to find competitors in Holland after becoming a professional athlete in his weightclass, he tried his luck abroad. In Baku, Azerbeidzjan, Eersel took part of a K1-tournament, where he qualified for the finals. He did not win the finals, but the hunger for more had started.

After this Eersel was invited for competitions in his country of birth Surinam, Russia (W5), Greece, Germany, Turkey (Mix Fight Gala), the US (Legacy and Lion Fight) and China (Wu Lin Feng, Glory of Heroes).

On May 17, 2019, he won the ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Championship by beating Nieky Holzken.[2] The same year, Eersel faced Holzken in a rematch on October 25, which he won by unanimous decision.[3]
