Johan Ghazali says Johan Estupinan hasn’t fought anyone ‘who’s really strong’

18-year-old Malaysian Muay Thai sensation 'Jojo' Johan Ghazali is getting ready for a highly anticipated battle of rising stars as he is set to face Colombian heavy hitter 'Panda Kick' Johan Estupinan.

Ghazali is widely considered by many to be the future of Muay Thai, as the teenager combines boyish good looks with killer instinct in the ring. 'Jojo' has all the makings of a global superstar.

Against Estupinan, who is equally regarded, Ghazali admits he isn't impressed by the Colombian, especially when he looks at his foe's resume.

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

"If you take a closer glimpse, in his previous fights, he hasn't fought someone who's really strong, in my opinion."

The battle of Johans is one of the most anticipated matchups on a stacked card in Bangkok. Fans won't have to wait long to see these two settle matters in the ring.
