"I'd drop everything I'm doing and go" - Johan Ghazali says he'd jump at the chance to compete at ONE 168: Denver

Johan Ghazali would cancel any plans if he gets to feature on the promotion's highly-awaited return to the United States, ONE 168: Denver, on Sept. 6. The Rentap Muaythai Gym affiliate has quickly risen from a largely unknown fighter to one of the highly-touted prodigies on the global stage.

With another chance to impress in the offing, as he faces Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat at ONE 167 this Friday, June 7, the 17-year-old sensation is ready to take each assignment in his stride with a larger goal in mind.

That goal, of course, is for an opportunity to fight on ONE Championship's second on-ground event in North America, which he described as something that could be a significant moment of his career during a recent appearance on the 4oz to Freedom podcast.

Johan Ghazali shared:

"If I get the chance to fight in the U.S., 100 percent. I'd drop everything I'm doing and go. 100 percent. I have family in Farmington, New Mexico. So I'd love to be on the Denver card and have my family watch me fight there in Denver, Colorado."

He continued:

"I'd love it - fight in front of my family, build my fanbase, and show Muay Thai to the world."

Before he dreams of a chance to duke it out inside the Ball Arena in Denver, Johan Ghazali must ace his next assignment that gets underway inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

ONE 167 will be available to all active Amazon Prime Video subscribers in North America live in U.S. primetime for free.
