At just 18 years old, ‘Jojo’ has already captured the attention of the combat sports world.
Since signing with the world’s largest martial arts organization, Ghazali has been nothing short of spectacular. He burst onto the scene with four straight wins on the weekly ONE Friday Fights series.
This impressive run earned him a spot on ONE’s main roster and a lucrative $100,000 contract, solidifying his place among the sport’s brightest young talents.
Ghazali’s debut on the grand stage in December 2023 exceeded all expectations when he dismantled Edgar Tabares in a stunning 36-second finish.
He followed it up with another highlight-reel performance in September 2024, delivering a jaw-dropping first-round knockout of Josue Cruz in a 142-pound catchweight clash.
Now riding a wave of momentum, Ghazali is setting his sights on breaking into the division’s top five rankings. However, he faces a formidable challenge this Friday against Estupinan.
Johan Ghazali excited to test Johan Estupinan’s mettle
In a recent interview with Anything Combat, Johan Ghazali expressed his respect for Johan Estupinan’s striking prowess, admitting that his opponent presents a unique challenge:
"He's a very unorthodox fighter. A different fighter. He doesn't fight like traditional Thais or traditional Muay Thai fighters."
Fans can expect fireworks as these two outstanding prospects go head-to-head in one of the night’s most anticipated showdowns.
