Clancy fought for the Caged Muaythai Super Lightweight tile against Matthew Bune during CMT 10. Cage Muaythai differed from the usual muaythai fights in that the competitors fought in the 4 oz gloves, typically used in mixed martial arts, instead of the larger boxing gloves.[10] Clancy won the fight by a fourth round TKO.[11]

Following his capture of the WBC Muaythai International title, Clancy was given an opportunity to fight for the World Super Lightweight title as well. He was scheduled to face Alessandro Sara at the Neptune Stadium in Cork.[16][17] Clancy won the fight through a unanimous decision.[18]

He afterwards fought during Lion Fight 60 against Ramesh Habib for the Lion Fight World Super Lightweight title. He was unable to mount a comeback after being dropped in the first round, and lost a unanimous decision.[19]

Clancy's first fight in ONE Championship was against Pongsiri P.K.Saenchaimuaythaigym, during ONE Championship: A New Breed 2.[20] Clancy lost a unanimous decision.[21]
