Jonathan Haggerty arrives in Thailand, puts in the work ahead of ONE Fight Night 9

Jonathan Haggerty is already soaking up the sun in Thailand before his ONE world title fight at ONE Fight Night 9 on Prime Video.

On April 21, ‘The General’ will head to the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok for a can’t-miss main event showdown as he challenges reigning ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O Hama. In order to properly acclimate to the sometimes unforgiving climate of Thailand, Haggerty is already putting hard at work in ‘The Land of Smile.'

“I could live here 😉🇹🇭,

After capturing ONE Championship gold in the flyweight division, Jonathan Haggerty plans on conquering the world of the bantamweights. However, that will not be an easy task as ‘The General’ squares off with perhaps the greatest Muay Thai fighter alive.

With more than 260 career wins and an undefeated record inside the circle, Nong-O Hama has been practically unstoppable since signing with the promotion in 2019. Riding a 10-fight win streak, Nong-O has bested some of the best in the business, including Saemapetch Fairtex, Rodlek PK Saenchai, and Liam ‘The Hitman’ Harrison.

His most recent appearance came in January, where he helped kick off the promotion’s Friday Fights series at Lumpinee Stadium. He delivered a knockout for the ages against Russian standout Alaverdi Ramazonov to retain his bantamweight Muay Thai crown.

Jonathan Haggerty is riding the momentum of a three-fight win streak going into his latest title opportunity. Having scored back-to-back victories over Taiki Naito and Mongkolpetch Petchyindee in the flyweight division, ‘The General’ jumped up to heavyweight, earning a victory against Vladimir Kuzman to secure his spot as the next man in line to challenge Nong-O.
