Johan Ghazali talked about focusing his training on "the ONE Championship style". Over the past two years, Ghazali, aged 18, has established a strong presence in the ONE flyweight Muay Thai division. The Malaysian-American prospect holds a promotional record of 6-2, including five wins by knockout.
In a recent interview with the South China Morning Post, Ghazali shared that his training was focused on preparing him to compete in the Chatri Sityodtong-run promotion:
"My training always revolved around the ONE Championship style because we knew this was the goal. And yeah, Alhamdulillah, I’m blessed with power."
Johan Ghazali started his ONE Championship tenure with five successive wins, four by knockout, on the ONE Friday Fights circuit. The 18-year-old phenom made a statement in his primetime debut, defeating Edgar Tabares with a 36-second knockout.

Ghazali has since endured two unanimous decision losses in his last three fights against Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat and Johan Estupinan. 'Jojo' defeated Josue Cruz by first-round knockout between the previously mentioned defeats, pushing his promotional record to 6-2.
Despite his recent setback, Ghazali is widely considered the future of the ONE flyweight Muay Thai division due to his young age and affiliation with several legends, including Superbon, Superlek, Seksan, and Trainer Gae.
