Jonathan Haggerty hopes to carry his momentum from 2023 into 2024
Jonathan Haggerty’s 2023 campaign was a memorable one. ‘The General’ kickstarted his year in April with an earth-shattering first-round knockout of Thai legend Nong-O Hama to claim his first bantamweight belt in the art of eight limbs.
He followed that up with another shocking KO, finishing bantamweight MMA champion Fabricio Andrade in November to add the vacant ONE bantamweight kickboxing crown to his growing collection.
But as they say, a champion is not a champion until they make their first title defense. Will ‘The General’ keep his Muay Thai title intact, or will Felipe Lobo shock the world and claim his first 26 pounds of ONE Championship gold in The Land of Smiles?
