ONE bantamweight MMA world champion Fabricio Andrade has called for a rematch against two-sport world champion Jonathan Haggerty.
In November 2023, Andrade and Haggerty went toe-to-toe in the ONE Fight Night 16 main event, with the vacant ONE bantamweight kickboxing world title on the line. ‘Wonder Boy’ refused to go down without a fight, but the U.K. superstar ultimately secured a second-round knockout win to become a two-sport king.
Following his impressive performance, Haggerty called for a shot at Andrade’s bantamweight MMA throne, which would make ‘The General’ the first simultaneous three-sport world champion. Since then, he’s continued to advocate for the opportunity to dethrone the Brazilian superstar.
Earlier this week, Jonathan Haggerty had this to say on his temporary Instagram story:
“@fabricioandrade1 I want my shot. You had yours now I want mine.”
Fabricio Andrade responded with his own temporary Instagram story that said:
“And I want rematch in kickboxing”
