Jamal Yusupov aiming for a knockout win at ONE Fight Night 7

It may be the most challenging fight of his career, but Jamal Yusupov is confident that he can still walk away with the victory and the ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title by way of knockout.

In an interview with ONE Championship, the Turkish fighter explained:

“I think the fight will end early. I am ready for five tough rounds, but I’ll try to win early by knockout.”

Furthermore, Jamal Yusupov is confident his hands will make all the difference:

“He is a young, tough opponent. I can point out that he is quick on his feet, and he works very well with his legs. My advantage is my boxing. Even Tawanchai himself pointed it out. He said I have good boxing. I have always been saying that boxing is my advantage, and I will prove it.”

With a slew of knockout victories in his career, the Turkish striker poses a unique threat to Tawanchai's world title. The dangerous challenger concluded by stating that he is coming off a good camp and is prepared both mentally and physically.
