British striker Jonathan Haggerty has been on an impressive tear in his ONE Championship journey, winning eight of his 10 matches to date, including his last six. It all started with his impressive unanimous decision victory over Italian Joseph Lasiri in his promotional debut in January 2019.

The two were featured in a ONE Super Series flyweight Muay Thai showdown at ONE: Eternal Glory on Jan. 19, 2019 in Jakarta, Indonesia. 'The General' went on to claim the victory by way of unanimous decision, displaying a variety of strikes that Lasiri had to endure through the course of their three-round thriller.

Jonathan Haggerty set the pace for the contest with a number of powerful kicks to the body and head. When 'The Hurricane' began dealing with the kicks, 'The General' recalibrated his attack, incorporating sharp and precise elbows, including a perfectly timed downward elbow late in the opening round that dropped Lasiri.

The intense back-and-forth between the fighters continued after, but in the end it was Jonathan Haggerty whose hand was raised in victory.

Jonathan Haggerty seeks to make it back-to-back successful defenses of his bantamweight Muay Thai gold at ONE 168: Denver

Double ONE world champion Jonathan Haggerty is looking to make it a successful defense once again of the bantamweight Muay Thai gold when he returns to action later this year in the United States.

'The General' will defend the bantamweight Muay Thai belt against flyweight kickboxing king Superlek Kiatmoo9 in an all-champion title clash at ONE 168 in Denver, Colorado, on Sept. 6. It will played at the Ball Arena, home of the NBA's Denver Nuggets.

Haggerty became ONE bantamweight muay Thai champion in April last year and successfully defended it for the first time in his last fight in February by defeating Brazilian Felipe Lobo by TKO in the third round.

The Orpington, England native incidentally is also the reigning ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion.

Tickets for ONE 168: Denver are already available on Ticketmaster. I will also be broadcast live and for free to North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
