“I’ll take that action all day” - Nico Carrillo invites Jonathan Haggerty to featherweight to settle their beef

Former top-ranked ONE Championship bantamweight Muay Thai contender 'King of the North' Nico Carrillo of Scotland may be making his featherweight debut in the world's largest martial arts organization this weekend.

But he has not forgotten about his biggest rival in the division he left behind.

Carrillo maintains that he is still open to facing English superstar and former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion 'The General' Jonathan Haggerty should the opportunity arise.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Carrillo talked about potentially facing Haggerty in the future.

'King of the North' stated:

"Just from a fighter’s perspective, he should know how it feels to be in there cutting weight. Coming at me with the ‘You’re next’ bollocks. He’s already said he’d fight me at 70kg, my door is open. I’ll take that action all day. So let’s see if he’s game."

Needless to say, a Carrillo vs. Haggerty showdown would be undoubtedly exciting, but the Scottish knockout artist has more pressing matters at hand.
