"You already know what I'm gonna bring, knockout power. And I will be looking for another one against Nguyen. Win or lose, you know, I'm just gonna stick to my style to get the job done," said Johan Ghazali.

The 17-year-old has displayed the perfect mix of flair and power in his previous five fights in ONE Championship en route to a perfect 5-0 record with four knockout finishes.

'Jojo' scored the biggest win of his career, at this point, when he knocked out former flyweight Muay Thai world title challenger Edgar Tabares in his Amazon debut at ONE Fight Night 17.

Ghazali's matchup against Nguyen, and the entire ONE 167 card, are available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
