Rising teenage sensation Johan Ghazali prepares for his upcoming contest at ONE Fight Night 32 under the watchful eyes of Superbon, and he's ready to showcase a couple of tricks he's adapted into his arsenal from the ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion.
The Malaysian-American knockout artist, who has captivated fans with his devastating finishing ability, suggests his next performance will showcase technical improvements beyond his already fearsome power. The Rentap Muay Thai Gym and Superbon Training Camp superstar shared during an exclusive interview with the South China Morning Post:
"So yeah [for this fight], I'll just showcase what he's been teaching me and [if] the knockout comes, it comes. But if not, I'm gonna be showcasing my new skills."
The 18-year-old martial artist heads into his clash against Colombian-American representative Diego Paez inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, with his back against the wall, having lost two of his last three fights under the promotional banner.
