Jonathan Haggerty looking to hit two birds with one stone against Superlek

The upcoming world title defense of Haggerty is not only important for him to retain his 26-pound golden belt, but also to avenge his loss to Superlek from six years ago in 2018 where he got stopped through a doctor's stoppage due to the nasty cut he sustained from their fight.

Futhermore, a victory for the 27-year-old British superstar could prove that he is one of the best pure strikers on the planet right now.

ONE 168: Denver will air live from the Ball Arena at U.S. primetime on Sept. 6. Tickets for the event are now available on sale on Ticketmaster.
