Recently, the two-sport titleholder's younger brother and fellow ONE Championship star, Freddie Haggerty, sat down with the promotion to offer his prediction for the ONE 168 headliner, saying:
“I believe Jon will stop Superlek. I know it. I reckon Jon will stop him in the fourth round.”
Jonathan Haggerty enters the bout coming off a sensational third-round knockout of Felipe Lobo to retain his title at ONE Fight Night 19 in February.
Superlek is a dangerous opponent
Standing in Haggerty's way of another successful defense will be one of the best P4P strikers on the planet today.
Superlek has gone unbeaten in the art of eight limbs ever since he signed with ONE Championship more than five years ago. Along the way, he's earned wins over Panpayak, Nabil Anane, Tagir Khalilov, and Kongthoranee Sor Sommai. Of course, his biggest victory came at ONE Friday Fights 34 last year, landing a unanimous decision over 'The Iron Man' Rodtang Jitmuangnon.
Superlek has also displayed his dominance in eight-ounce gloves, besting Daniel Puertas to win the ONE flyweight kickboxing world championship. He has also successfully defended the crown against Japanese K-1 legend Takeru Segawa.
Will 'The Kicking Machine' become a two-sport champ in The Centennial State, or will Haggerty add another big name to his already impressive hit list?
