The stage is set for a monumental Muay Thai event as Scotland's Nico “King of the North” Carrillo prepares to face the legendary Nong-O Hama on December 22nd at ONE Friday Fights 46. This electrifying match is set to be broadcast live from the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, adding yet another thrilling chapter to the stadium's storied history.

Nong-O: A Resilient Monarch's Return

Nong-O, a venerated figure in Muay Thai, boasts an illustrious career with over 260 professional victories. Having started his journey at a tender age of nine, he has ascended to capture numerous world titles at Lumpinee Stadium and has been a dominant force in ONE Championship. Following a brief hiatus due to illness and a setback against Jonathan Haggerty, the 37-year-old striker is making a much-anticipated return to the ring. With an impressive track record of seven title defenses—five by knockout—Nong-O is determined to reassert his championship pedigree.

Nico Carrillo: The Ascent of "King of the North"

Standing across from Nong-O is Nico Carrillo, a Scottish force in Muay Thai who brings a 13-fight winning streak into the ring. His recent triumphs over top contenders in ONE Championship have not only turned heads but have also earned him world titles in WMO, WBC, and ISKA. At just 25 years old, Carrillo has proven his mettle as a knockout artist and is now poised to test his skill against Muay Thai royalty.
