'Jojo' told the world's largest martial arts organization:
"We’ve known each other for a long time, way before I became famous. She’s from Kuching [in Malaysia]. We were just childhood friends. Probably I’d say she was my childhood crush. We’ve been dating for exactly two and a half years. It was at the very early part of my ONE Friday Fights career."
Will 'Jojo' make his girlfriend proud in his next fight?
Ghazali is set to face Colombian-American knockout artist Diego Paez in a three-round flyweight Muay Thai bout.
The two throw down 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.

There, Ghazali works with guys like featherweight kickboxing king Superbon and former bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O Hama, among others.
Speaking to Goated Combat, he said:
"I mean, that's what I thought. So, before I came here, I thought my boxing was the best. But I'm being schooled here every day."
