Jonathan Haggerty motivated to win second world title after losing first back in 2019

In his pursuit of a second world title in a higher weight class, Jonathan Haggerty drew motivation from how he lost his first. The former ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion posted about his long and difficult road back to world title contention again. 'The General' dropped his flyweight Muay Thai belt to Rodtang Jitmuangnon back in 2019 and failed to win it back in a rematch the following year.

The back-to-back losses seemed to have lit the fire from underneath Jonathan Haggerty. Since then, however, 'The General' has gone on a four-fight winning streak. His three wins in ONE Championship and an ISKA Muay Thai lightweight world title win got Haggerty a new shot at the belt. The fighting Brit is now scheduled to face ONE bantamweight world champion Nong-O Hama at ONE Fight Night 9 on April 21.

In an inspiring Instagram post by Haggerty himself, the British Muay Thai star wrote about his long and storied comeback:

"2019, the year I lost my @onechampionship world title. We’ve been grinding non stop beating everyone they’ve put in front of me. I have dreamed about holding that world title again and on April 22nd I finally get my chance to make history again. Thank you everyone for the continued support you have shown me through out the years ❤️ #ANDTHENEW #2X"

ONE Fight Night 9 will air live and for free to all Prime Video subscribers in North America.
