"A huge statement" - Freddie Haggerty ready to prove to ONE Championship he's made for the big leagues by beating tough Colombian

British striking whizzkid Freddie Haggerty is aiming for another eventful night when he hops inside the circle at ONE 170.

The 20-year-old meets promotional newcomer Jordan Estupinan in a flyweight Muay Thai joust at Bangkok's Impact Arena this Friday, Jan. 24.

This upcoming tilt marks the first time the ONE Friday Fights product features in a numbered event in the promotion.

Knowing well this would be his best chance at securing a lucrative six-figure contract to join the main roster, as long as he gets his hand raised against the Colombian, Freddie Haggerty promises to do all he can to ensure results go his way.

The Knowlesy Academy and Team Underground athlete told ONE Championship:

"I believe if I go in there and make a huge statement and wipe Estupinan out, I believe I should get a contract. Purely because I've taken the fight around six weeks after my last fight, one weight above, and on a huge show."

He currently enjoys a 3-0 run in the promotion. All his victories - against Dankalong Sor Dechapan, Kaichon Sor Yingcharoenkarnchang, and Kaoklai Chor Hapayak - have come inside the distance.

Freddie Haggerty confident he can beat Jordan Estupinan to the punch

Though he does see himself adding to his gallery of finishes on the spectacle, the Londoner believes it'll be easier said than done.

Estupinan's explosive-only style could force a shift in tactics for the youngster. Plus, the Colombian has knockout power at his disposal.

That said, Freddie Haggerty remains confident that he can win every exchange and possibly sneak in a one-hitter quitter to enjoy another early night on the global stage.

In the same interview, he added:

"If we can shut that [Jordan Estupinan's aggressive style] down and beat him to every shot, it's going to be a really hard night for him. I think I can catch Jordan off-guard."

ONE 170, topped by three massive world title matchups, will be available to fight fans via watch.onefc.com this Friday, January 24.
