The rivalry between Jonathan Haggerty and Fabricio Andrade is heating up.
On November 3, ‘The General’ and ‘Wonder Boy’ will meet inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium to headline ONE Fight Night 16. There will be added stakes as the world-class bantamweight fighters look to secure the vacant ONE bantamweight kickboxing world title.
Regardless of who wins, a two-sport world champion will be crowned, as Jonathan Haggerty holds the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai crown, while Fabricio Andrade is the ONE bantamweight MMA king.
Ahead of their highly-anticipated matchup, Jonathan Haggerty and Fabricio Andrade have ensured their beef is real. ONE recently shared a heated exchange on Instagram between the fighters, with ‘The General’ starting by saying:

“You see me in the back room and now you want to say it on social media? If you want it, you can have it.”
Fabricio Andrade responded with the following quote:
“What do you expect? Me to shake your hand and pretend we are friends? No fake s*** here. You said you wanna fight me before, now is the time.”
Earlier this year, Jonathan Haggerty officially left the ONE flyweight Muay Thai division for bantamweight. ‘The General’ is rarely overlooked, but most people couldn't have predicted what would happen when he fought then-world champion Nong-O.
Haggerty came out and ran through Nong-O, ending the Thai superstar’s 10-0 promotional run with a first-round knockout and taking the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title by force.
Meanwhile, Fabricio Andrade also made history in 2023. The rising superstar faced John Lineker in an instant rematch for the vacant ONE bantamweight MMA world title to settle their no-contest. ‘Wonder Boy’ broke down Lineker with his striking to secure a fourth-round TKO win.
It’ll be intriguing to see who can further their legacy and continue building momentum on November 3. ONE Fight Night 16 can be seen live and for free by North American viewers with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
