Johan Estupinan said:
"I defeated 'Jojo’s' brother in 2021 in the best way possible. I was explosive and won all rounds. The only thing missing was a knockout. I know that I’ll do the same thing against ‘Jojo’ but it’ll be much better because I’m going to knock him out."
Estupinan is one of the most entertaining fighters in ONE Championship, and he's ready to bring his usual Latin flair when he locks horns with Ghazali in Bangkok.
'Panda Kick' is a perfect 4-0 in his ONE Championship tenure, with three knockout victories over Kouta Omori, Sean Climaco, and Zakaria El Jamari.
Ghazali, meanwhile, established his name as one of the best young stars in the world of Muay Thai.
'Jojo' is an impressive 6-1 in ONE Championship and holds five knockout wins against Padetsuk Fairtex, Tai Sor Jor Piek Uthai, Temirlan Bekmurzaev, Edgar Tabares, and Josue Cruz.
