‘I See Him Do The Chicken Dance’: George Jarvis Seeks Revenge For 84-Second Defeat At The Inner Circle 33

More than a year removed from their first encounter, George Jarvis and Regian Eersel are set to run it back. The two-sport king will defend his ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Title against the Englishman, who insists he has corrected the mistakes that cost him their first meeting, in the main event of The Inner Circle 33.

The highly anticipated rematch streams via live.onefc.com on Friday, October 2, from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. Jarvis enters with a clear mission, determined to leave the historic venue with gold around his waist.

Their first clash came in August 2025, where Eersel broke through Jarvis's defenses in dramatic fashion in just 84 seconds. Since that night, Eersel has only continued building his legacy, reclaiming the vacant lightweight kickboxing gold by outclassing Rungrawee Sitsongpeenong to once again become a two-sport champion.

Reflecting on their first encounter, Jarvis was candid in his self-assessment, placing the blame for that early knockout squarely on his own execution rather than crediting anything exceptional from his opponent.

"In the first fight, Eersel obviously caught me very early in the first round. I'll say this all the time, but it's not like he did anything particularly well. I just did everything wrong," Jarvis said.

Representing Lumpini Crawley, the 26-year-old Jarvis believes he has evolved significantly since that defeat, both inside the ring and as a person. He feels fully prepared to finally capture the gold that has slipped from his fingers.

"I've matured a lot. I've grown up a lot. I've earned my shot, and I'm excited to show everyone what we already know, how good I am and that I can shock the world and take that belt," he said.

When it comes to how the rematch unfolds, Jarvis made clear that the method of victory matters far less than simply getting his hand raised at the end of the night.

"My prediction is just a win. I don't care if I win by knockout. I don't care if I win on points. The main focus in this fight is just to get a win. If I hit him with a shot and I see him do the chicken dance, then that's it," Jarvis said.
