Johan Ghazali is proud to fight among the best combat sports athletes in the world.
Though he's only 18 years old, Ghazali has already earned 25 career victories in his Muay Thai career, six of those wins coming under the ONE Championship banner. On Friday, Jan. 24, he'll look to land win number seven inside the Circle when he meets undefeated Colombian sensation Johan Estupinan at ONE 170.
While appearing at the ONE 170 virtual media day, Ghazali had nothing but praise for his employer, suggesting that any athlete looking to compete with the best of the best needs to be in ONE Championship:

"If someone is the best at what they do, I'm sure they'd want to compete at the highest level, right? So, if you're really a good Muay Thai fighter or a really good MMA fighter, ONE Championship is the place to be. So, yeah, it's a no-brainer for them, and it doesn't make a difference for me."
After looking nothing short of impressive in his first seven appearances with the promotion, 'Jojo' will look to land the biggest win of his career thus far.
