Jonathan Haggerty, the two-sport king, is gearing up for a monumental showdown on the global stage. At ONE 168: Denver, he will defend his Muay Thai throne against Superlek Kiatmoo9, the last man to defeat him outside of ONE Championship. The Englishman is laser-focused on this fight, considering it the most challenging of his career.
The Superlek Challenge
Superlek, the flyweight kickboxing world champion, poses a significant threat. Haggerty acknowledges that Superlek is even tougher than fighters like Liam Harrison and Nico Carrillo. The English fighter’s priority is revenge and redemption, and he aims to get past Superlek before entertaining thoughts of an all-English contest with Carrillo or Harrison.
“For now, I’m focused on Superlek. I’m gonna fight him first. I believe he’s the hardest fighter I need to prepare for.”
“He’s way above Liam Harrison and Nico Carrillo. So I feel once I can get past him, let’s get it on Nico Carrillo,” Haggerty added.
Potential Exciting Matchups for Jonathan Haggerty
While Jonathan Haggerty remains focused on Superlek, fans can’t help but speculate about other potential matchups. Two names stand out:
