“He's an okay fighter” - Johan Ghazali not impressed with battle-hardened veteran Diego Paez

18-year-old Malaysian Muay Thai sensation and ONE Championship phenom 'Jojo' Johan Ghazali doesn't see anything special in upcoming opponent Diego Paez.

Ghazali is set to make his return to the ONE Championship ring next month against the Colombian knockout artist, and he's looking to make a statement. Speaking to Goated Combat in a recent interview, Ghazali talked about Paez and what he thinks of his next foe.

'Jojo' said:

"He's older than me. He's I think he's like 30-something? Like 32 or something. So, he's more than a decade older than me. Obviously has more experience than me. I would expect that. And other than that, I've watched his fights. He's an okay fighter. He's not the same as like other Thai fighters. So, he's got to watch out for his spinning attacks."

Malaysian star 'Jojo' Johan Ghazali is set to face Colombia's Diego Paez in a three-round flyweight Muay Thai contest.

The two lock horns at ONE Fight Night 32: Rodrigues vs. Cohen on Prime Video, which will broadcast live in U.S. primetime on Friday, June 6, from the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action live and absolutely free with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
