British superstar Jonathan Haggerty’s gold-ridden run in ONE Championship

Jonathan Haggerty’s rise to prominence in the combat sports world has been nothing short of meteoric since joining ONE Championship in 2019.

'The General' quickly became a household name in the promotion, amassing an impressive record of eight wins in 11 appearances — with seven of those bouts contested for world titles.

Take a look at the clip below showcasing Jonathan Haggerty’s greatest moments:

Fans have consistently marveled at the British striker’s elite skills in the comments, with social media users like @Mickytolife and @nathanstewart5186 lavishing him with praise:

“Love it!!”

“General can Bang 👊”

Haggerty’s career reached new heights in 2023, a defining year that saw him join the exclusive club of athletes who achieved two-sport glory.

After a brief reign as the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion, he opted to move up in weight, seeking new challenges and another coveted crown.

Displaying his undeniable talent and resilience, Haggerty shocked the world in April 2023 when he dethroned Nong-O Hama to claim the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title.

The Englishman delivered a stunning first-round knockout, punctuated by a devastating face-planting blow that sealed the deal.

Haggerty wasn’t finished yet. Seven months later, he raised the bar again, dismantling ONE bantamweight MMA world champion Fabricio Andrade in less than two rounds to occupy the organization’s vacant kickboxing throne at 145 pounds.

Now, the very belt Jonathan Haggerty claimed against Fabricio Andrade will be on the line when he faces Chinese superstar Wei Rui in the main event of ONE 171 on February 20, 2025, at Lusail Sports Arena in Qatar.

In a conversation with the hosts of Winners Talking Podcast, Haggerty is relishing the opportunity to test himself against a high-caliber opponent.

He said:

"That's the thing with ONE Championship, they put fights on that everyone wants to see. The best against the best, like you said, it's no like beating around a bush, having one golden boy and saving his record. It's like number one versus the champ. That's it. That's what's good about it."
