Johan Ghazali dreams of one day fighting for ONE Championship in Malaysia: “Anytime I’d take it”

18-year-old Malaysian Muay Thai sensation 'Jojo' Johan Ghazali wants ONE Championship to return to Kuala Lumpur where he dreams of performing in front of his hometown crowd.

ONE Championship built a solid following in Malaysia with stars such as Ann Osman, Agilan Thani, and Peter Davis in the past.

Today, Ghazali is the country's brightest martial arts star, and he hopes to one day compete in his nation's capital.

He told the media during a recent ONE 170 virtual media day hosted by ONE Championship:

"Yes, of course. If I get the opportunity to fight in Malaysia, anytime, I'd take it. I'd love to."

Ghazali is one of the brightest young stars in the world's largest martial arts organization today. The Rentap Muaythai Gym representative has a steadily growing fanbase who can't wait to see him live in action.

In his next fight, however, Ghazali will take on his toughest test yet.
