Jonathan Haggerty thinks George Jarvis is a future ONE world champion. Jarvis scored his third straight win under the ONE banner at ONE Fight Night 30 inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium, defeating Mouhcine Chafi via unanimous decision.
With a solid streak of wins built up, 'G-Unit' could be the next man up for a shot at the ONE lightweight Muay Thai world championship, currently held by Regian Eersel.
Asked about his countryman's chances of one day claiming 26 pounds of gold, Haggerty told the South China Morning Post:
"George is great. I’ve known him for years. I started actually on his dad’s fight shows, which is crazy. So it’s good to see him doing well. I do think he can go all the way to the title, and I hope he does. He’s dedicated his life to it. I’ve seen it firsthand. So he deserves it. Dad and family are such great people as well."
