Three-division king Anatoly Malykhin highlights Jonathan Haggerty's biggest advantages against Superlek at ONE 168

Jonathan Haggerty is set to face one of the biggest challenges of his career when he returns at ONE 168 in Denver.

The Brit has been on a meteoric rise since making the decision to move to bantamweight where he has achieved great success.

Currently reigning as a two sport world champion, his Muay Thai title will be on the line when ONE Championship makes their return to the United States.

His opponent will be moving up from the flyweight division where he has proven himself to be one of the best in the world.

Superlek and Haggerty aren't just two of the very best, they're both world champions and they've met once before many years ago.

It's a fight that striking fans have wanted to see for a long time and what makes it so exciting is how unpredictable it is.

Malykhin recently spoke in an interview with ONE Championship about where he believes the two men can seperate themselves from one another.

Regarding the defending champion, Malykhin believes that he may be able to beat his opponent to the punch on September 6:

"Haggerty's advantage is his speed and technique."

Jonathan Haggerty has always looked to prove people wrong

Jonathan Haggerty has made a career out of proving people wrong in regard to what he is capable of.

Given the current form of Superlek, this could well be his biggest fight to date, but 'The General' tends to shine under the brightest lights.

The same can be said for Anatoly Malykhin who will be making his return on the second ONE Championship event in the United States this year.

He will be looking to maintain his own incredible run of victories by staying undefeated and keeping hold of the heavyweight title when he defends against Oumar 'Reug Reug' Kane at ONE 169 on November 8.
