“He's very unorthodox” - Johan Ghazali admits Johan Estupinan’s flamboyant striking style is hard to prepare for

Teen phenom Johan Ghazali knows he's in for a tough test when he returns to the Circle for a scrap with Colombian sensation Johan Estupinan.

After climbing back into the win column with a first-round knockout of Josue Cruz in September, Ghazali will look to carry his momentum into the new year when he meets Estupinan as part of a loaded ONE 170 card emanating from Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand on Friday, Jan. 24.

Estupinan enters the bout with a perfect 26-0 record, including three KOs under the ONE Championship banner for an impressive 75% finish rate.

During an appearance at the ONE 170 virtual media day, Ghazali spoke about Estupinan's unique striking style that makes him a very different type of opponent compared to those he's already faced on martial arts' biggest global stage.

"Yeah, yeah," Ghazali said. "Of course. Estupinan, I'm not saying he's an easy opponent, but he's very unorthodox, very different, not like a usual fighter you'd see all the time."
