Double ONE world champion Jonathan Haggerty is set to perform in the United States later this year and promises to put on a show that American fans can appreciate and enjoy.

'The General' will be putting his ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title on the line against flyweight kickboxing king Superlek Kiatmoo9 in an all-champion clash at ONE 168 in Denver, Colorado, U.S.A. on Sept. 6.

The venue is the 21,000-seater Ball Arena, which is the home of the NBA's Denver Nuggets.

Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA in an interview, Jonathan Haggerty shared that fighting in bigger venues has provided added motivation for him and ONE 168 will be no different.

The 27-year-old Londoner, who is also the ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion, said:

"Yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited to fight in the bigger stadiums. I just like the big stadiums, the bigger lights more. I can wait to get back into the stadiums and put on a show for everybody."

ONE 168 will be the second time that Jonathan Haggerty will be defending the bantamweight Muay Thai gold he seized from longtime divisional king Nong-O Hama in April last year.

He retained his world title in his last fight in February, defeating Brazilian challenger Felipe Lobo by TKO in the third round.

ONE 168: Denver will be available to North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription. Tickets for the event are now available on Ticketmaster.
