“I know what I’m up against” - Johan Ghazali says he is not underestimating Johan Estupinan

18-year-old Muay Thai sensation Johan Ghazali isn't taking his next opponent lightly. The Rentap Muaythai Gym representative understands how dangerous undefeated Johan Estupinan is, and he will not make the mistake of underestimating his foe.

Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview, Ghazali shared his thoughts on Estupinan.

'Jojo' said:

"I know what I’m up against, and based on what we’ve learned from him and his style, it’s definitely not an easy fight. A tough night in the office perhaps, but I guarantee it will be the same result - a win for me."

Ghazali and Estupinan are set to throw down in a three-round flyweight Muay Thai fight at ONE 170, which will broadcast live from the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand on Friday, Jan. 24.
