Fans are praising Jonathan Haggerty ahead of his opportunity to become a two-sport world champion.
In April of this year, Haggerty shocked the world by knocking out the legendary Nong-O Hama in the first round to become the new ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion. He now looks to establish one of the most prolific calendar year runs with another historic win.
On November 3, Haggerty will headline ONE Fight Night 16 against Fabricio Andrade, the OE bantamweight MMA world champion, with the vacant ONE bantamweight kickboxing world title up for grabs.
Haggerty provided an update for fans by sharing a clip on Instagram of his intense training session. The social media post was captioned:
