Johan Ghazali has promised to unleash his full potential when he steps between the ropes in one of the most hallowed spaces in combat sports.
The young phenom will face off against Diego Paez in a flyweight Muay Thai matchup at ONE Fight Night 32 on June 6, US primetime, at the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.
Taking to Instagram, Ghazali wrote he's been perfecting his craft at Superbon's mega gym, Superbon Training Camp, ahead of his return to action.

Ghazali has been training under the tutelage of the ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion since December 2024, and he wants nothing more than to show his evolution when he steps between the ropes against Paez.
Besides Superbon, Ghazali trains with former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion Petchtanong Petchfergus and former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O Hama.
Famed coach Trainer Gae is also in the gym to give pointers to the Malaysian-American phenom.
Ghazali, though, is coming off a tough loss against fifth-ranked flyweight Muay Thai contender Johan Estupinan in his last outing at ONE 170 in January.
With such a bitter memory lingering in his psyche, the 18-year-old wants nothing more than to get back on track and re-establish his march toward the division's top five rankings.
ONE Fight Night 32, just like all of ONE Championship's Amazon cards, is available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
Johan Ghazali says he won't be in a rush when he faces Diego Paez in Bangkok
Johan Ghazali always operated at a breakneck speed, but he wants to settle into things when he crosses paths with Diego Paez at ONE Fight Night 32.
In an interview with the South China Morning Post, Ghazali said he'll let the fight come to him instead of aggressively hunting for a knockout finish against Paez.
He said:
"Honestly, I’m just going to go with the flow. Just going to go with the flow, going to fight, going to show my technique, my strategy - everything that I’ve been learning here."
