Jonathan Haggerty wants to face winner of ONE 172 unification war between Superlek and Nabil Anane: "That’s the main goal”

Jonathan Haggerty will be watching on as two-sport king squares off with Nabil Anane next month at ONE 172: Takeru vs. Rodtang.

In one of five ONE world title fights scheduled for the mega-sized event inside the Saitama Super Arena in Japan, Superlek will look to unify the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title against Anane, the reigning ONE interim bantamweight Muay Thai world titleholder.

Haggerty, who held the bantamweight Muay Thai strap until suffering a brutal 49-second knockout loss against 'The Kicking Machine' at ONE 168: Denver, has his sights set on challenging the winner in a bid to once again become a two-sport ONE world champion.

Haggerty told Inside Fighting:

"Beat Superlek. Beat Nabil. And, who knows, I keep saying it, and there’s always setbacks with me defending my belts...But yeah, that’s the main goal I think."

But before Jonathan Haggerty can turn his attention toward either a rematch with Superlek or a first-ever meeting with Anane, he'll have to get past one of the pound-for-pound best kickboxers in the world this Thursday, February 20.
