Jonathan Haggerty is sure his younger brother, Freddie Haggerty, is on the brink of a $100,000 contract as long as he achieves what he does best at ONE Friday Fights 91.

The 20-year-old upstart returns for his third appearance on the promotion's weekly Asian primetime spectacle inside the Lumpinee Stadium this Friday, Dec. 13. He takes on local favorite Kaoklai Chor Hapayak in strawweight Muay Thai action.

Freddie has put the division on notice across two fights inside the hallowed grounds of the Mecca of Muay Thai, displaying his show-stopping power on his way to two massive wins.

He enjoyed an early night out in his promotional bow with a second-round stoppage of Dankalong Sor Dechapan this past January.

Six months later, he graced the ring with another statement display, finishing Kaichon Sor Yingcharoenkarnchang with a buzzer-beating KO inside round one.

With positive momentum heading into his third fight, Jonathan Haggerty does see himself joining him on the grandest stage of combat sports if he secures a third successive highlight-reel win.

The ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion had this to say during an appearance on the Winners Talking Podcast:

"He's had two fights in ONE. Two knockouts. He's not signed in the main promotion yet. He's signed with ONE Lumpinee [ONE Friday Fights]. There [are] two. ONE Lumpinee and ONE Championship. But if he gets a knockout [next], his next fight, he's gonna be signed to ONE Championship."
