ONE Fight Night 32: “I want the belt” - Rising star Johan Ghazali says his world title aspirations extend beyond Muay Thai

Johan Ghazali is chasing Muay Thai greatness, but the teenage sensation won't stop there. Ghazali has some pretty big plans as soon as he is done conquering 'the art of eight limbs,' and he has shared what some of those plans are in a recent interview with Goated Combat.

'Jojo' said:

"I will. So, my goal right now, short-term and long-term, is to be the best Muay Thai fighter I can possibly be. And by doing that, I need the belt. So, I want the belt, and if I can get the kickboxing, MMA, whatever I can get. So, I'm going to do it. And then when I'm done with it, I'm getting out and doing something."
