Jake Peacock refuses to rest on his laurels after impressive ONE debut: "I've got a lot to work on"

Jake Peacock wants to keep the ball rolling after enjoying a debut to remember at ONE Friday Fights 58 last Friday.

The English-born Canadian, a Road to ONE tournament winner, stunned fans around the globe with a decisive unanimous decision victory over Kohei Shinjo in Bangkok, Thailand.

The limb-different superstar, who's missing his right forearm, proved that there is no challenge too hard as he brought the fight to his Japanese rival and attacked with intent.

Whether it was his snappy counters or brilliant question mark kicks, the Dunamis Muay Thai upstart found plenty of ways to break down Shinjo to gain a unanimous decision triumph.

But with 11 finishes across 12 professional fights, Jake Peacock feels something was lacking in his promotional bow. As such, he doesn't plan on wasting time to ensure he secures a highlight-reel finish in his sophomore outing.

Speaking to ONE Championship, the 30-year-old said:

"I'm going to go straight back to the drawing board. I've got a lot to work on. I always do it after fights."

The Calgary-based fighter may not have followed his grandfather or father's footsteps into the football world, but per his ONE debut, he seems to be doing the surname justice in an entirely different field.
