“He’s hungry for more” – Chatri Sityodtong says Jonathan Haggerty eying three-sport supremacy in ONE Championship

ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodong says current two-sport ONE world champion Jonathan Haggerty has his sights set on claiming a third world championship on the global stage.

2023 was a banner year for Haggerty, after all. ‘The General’ kicked things off by claiming the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai title via a shocking first-round knockout of Nong-O Hama inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium.

Seven months later, he returned to the iconic venue in Bangkok, Thailand, for a champion vs. champion clash with reigning bantamweight MMA titleholder Fabricio Andrade, and emerged as the new bantamweight kickboxing king.

Haggerty needed less than two rounds to add another highlight-reel knockout to his resume and claim another 26 pounds of ONE gold.

Speaking with Sky Sports, the ONE head honcho suggested that Haggerty will likely sit atop his double throne for the foreseeable future, adding that ‘The General’ already has dreams of three-division glory.

"I think you're going to see him reign for a long time, but at the same time, he's hungry for more,” Sityodtong said. “He has messaged me in the past about wanting to do mixed martial arts and eventually fight for the title as well."
