Jake Peacock claimed there was "no real threat or danger" in his latest Muay Thai fight. On April 5, Peacock fought under the ONE Championship banner for the first time at ONE Friday Fights 58.
The Canadian-British Muay Thai fighter has been overcoming adversity throughout his combat sports career, and things will get more difficult on the global stage of the promotion.
Peacock passed his first test against Kohei Shinjo with a unanimous decision win. The 31-year-old was focused on enjoying himself and appreciating the moment, which he explained by saying this during an interview with Sportskeeda MMA:
"You wait four months for a fight, it's a big buildup then you have nine minutes of work, nine minutes of enjoyment. It goes so quick and getting the finish, it goes even quicker. I just wanted to enjoy myself. There was no real threat or danger there. At the time, I was in control, so I was trying to showcase everything I had and really soak up the moment of being in Lumpinee Stadium. Would never underestimate anybody."
