Canadian limb-different Muay Thai star Jake ‘The One’ Peacock can’t wait to head back to the Circle when he faces off against Suakim Sor Jor Tongprajin at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri on Sunday, November 16.
ONE 173 is an absolutely stacked card and is arguably the biggest event in ONE Championship history. The show features multiple world title showdowns, among them a highly anticipated battle between ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nabil Anane and bantamweight kickboxing king ‘The General’ Jonathan Haggerty.
He told South China Morning Post in a recent interview:

“I think it's a tough one for Haggerty. I think Nabil's very good. He's great at using all the tools he's got and the range he's got. He's good at fighting on the outside and good at fighting on the inside. I think it’s a tough night for anyone. I know what I'd do to him if I were in there with him. I've already thought about that, but we won't get ahead of ourselves.”
Not just a fighter, but also a fan, Jake Peacock can’t wait to see Anane take on Haggerty, and he’s already made a quick pick for who he thinks will win.
