Johan Ghazali: FREE FULL FIGHT: Teenage phenom Johan Ghazali unleashes pure offensive fury in Bangkok showcase

Johan Ghazali proved that he was primed to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the elite on ONE Championship's main roster when he made his third outing under the promotion's banner nearly two years ago.

This happened when the Malaysian-American phenom entered enemy territory to battle hometown favorite Samurai Seeopal in a flyweight Muay Thai encounter at ONE Friday Fights 25, held before a partisan crowd at the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, in July 2023.

Ghazali took control in the opening round, unleashing vicious body shots and lightning-fast combinations. However, Samurai showed resilience and rallied in the second frame.

With the bout hanging in the balance, "Jojo" pushed his Thai counterpart to the brink in the third and final stanza, and his relentless effort was rewarded with a unanimous decision victory.

In his fourth assignment on the weekly ONE Friday Fights series, Ghazali finally earned his main roster spot with the world's largest martial arts organization by knocking out Temirlan Bekmurzaev in the second round.

Since then, Ghazali hasn't looked back, winning two of his four matches on the grand stage by way of first-round knockout.
