WATCH: Malaysian-American phenom Johan Ghazali's collection of high-octane knockouts in ONE Championship

Johan Ghazali experienced a meteoric rise in ONE Championship after winning his first five matches after his promotional debut in February 2023.

Included in that streak were four knockout finishes, which the world's largest martial arts organization featured in a recent Instagram post that was captioned with:

"Johan Ghazali BURST onto the ONE scene with some dominant finishes 😳 Can the 17-year-old phenom start another winning streak against Josue Cruz at ONE 168: Denver? 💥 @johanghazali_"

The four-slide post highlighted the stoppage victories of 'Jojo' against Padetsuk Fairtex in February 2023 at ONE Friday Fights 6, Tai Sor Jor Piek Uthai in May 2023 at ONE Friday Fights 18, Temirlan Bekmurzaev in October 2023 at ONE Friday Fights 36, and Edgar Tabares in December 2023 at ONE Fight Night 17.

Aside from these finishes, the Malaysian-American athlete also scored a unanimous decision win over Samurai Seeopal in July 2023 at ONE Friday Fights 25.

Meanwhile, his lone loss was courtesy of five-time Muay Thai world champion Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat, who handed him a decision setback in June 2023 at ONE 167.

Johan Ghazali names three opponents he wants to face next after fight with Josue Cruz

Ghazali's main focus right now is his upcoming flyweight Muay Thai match against Josue Cruz at ONE 168: Denver on Sept. 6, which will take place at the Ball Arena in Colorado.

But even before he exchanges strikes with the Mexican, the Rentap Muaythai Gym representative has already identified the three fighters he wants to share the ring with.

He revealed this during his recent interview with the South China Morning Post, stating:

"I want to fight Denis Puric... old man experience. Jacob Smith, who's fighting Rodtang next, me and him could get it on. Freddie [Haggerty], like I said, me and Freddie would be pretty big fight, I think."

ONE 168: Denver will transpire at the Ball Arena in U.S. primetime on Sept. 6. Tickets for the events are available on Ticketmaster.
