Johan Ghazali says, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The 18-year-old teen sensation stormed into ONE Championship in 2023 and immediately made a name for himself, winning five straight fights, with four of them coming inside the distance.
However, 'Jojo' has faced some adversity over the last year, dropping back-to-back bouts, including unanimous decision losses to Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat and undefeated Colombian star Johan Estupinan.
Since then, Ghazali has been training with ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion Superbon to touch up everything. Well, almost everything.

“So my hands have power," Ghazali told BJPenn.com while discussing his time training with Superbon at the Superbon Training Center in Thailand. "But Superbon tells me, ‘You have power, everybody knows. But you got to touch up everything else.'”
Determined to climb back into the win column, Ghazali will have the chance to show off his refined skill set on Friday, June 6, when ONE Championship heads back to the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok for another loaded night of fights.
