‘Hungry’ Johan Ghazali eying a statement display at ONE Fight Night 32: “I’m really craving a good performance”

Johan Ghazali is hungry, and the only thing that will satisfy him is a big win on the biggest stage of martial arts.

The 18-year-old teen phenom will look to get exactly that when he steps back inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok this Friday night for a clash with the always dangerous Diego Paez at ONE Fight Night 32 on Prime Video.

Speaking with Sportkseeda MMA in an exclusive interview, 'Jojo' was asked who he believes is more determined to come out on top inside the Mecca of Muay Thai. Unsurprisingly, Johan said:

"It’s definitely me. Me. I’m hungry. I think I’m really craving a good performance here, especially after my last fight. My hunger is always there, but it’s at a new level for this fight against Diego."

The 18-year-old Ghazali goes into the bout coming off a frustrating unanimous decision loss against Johan Estupinan in January.

Johan Ghazali is coming for a highlight-reel finish at ONE Fight Night 32

Meanwhile, Diego Paez will be gunning for his first win in ONE Championship after surrendering a split decision to Sean Climaco in his promotional debut.

13 years older than his opponent, Paez brings a sizeable experience advantage with him, but none of that matters to the young Malaysian-American star, who is determined to land another highlight-reel finish. Ghazali added:

"A knockout, whenever it may be. Round one, round two, round three. If I don't get him done early, I'll be ready to throw until the final round. Yeah, that's the perfect way for me to wrap up my return."

Who gets their hand raised this Friday night?

ONE Fight Night 32 will air live on ONE Championship’s YouTube channel, the ONE Super App, and watch.onefc.com on Friday, June 6.
