ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion Jonathan Haggerty promises that ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 will regret challenging him for the 145-pound Muay Thai crown at ONE 168: Denver on Friday, Sept. 6, inside the Ball Arena.

ONE Championship recently shared a video of 'The General' in the closing stages of his training camp via Instagram, and he had the following to say:

"It's going to be a long night for Superlek. Just focused on one goal and that's [to] get in there and do the job. Camp's going good. Fight week's better than ever. Everything's smooth. Got everyone around me that I need. The time has come. Let's go. See what you're [Superlek] made of."

The reigning two-sport king has revenge on his mind after suffering a TKO loss via a doctor's stoppage to 'The Kicking Machine' under the Yokkao banner in October 2018.

With a chance to avenge that loss and snap Superlek's monstrous 10-fight winning streak at ONE 168: Denver, Haggerty's defense of the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship will be his most important fight yet.
