The Canadian-Englishman recently reflected on his remarkable ascent, which began with a dominant debut victory over Kohei Shinjo at ONE Friday Fights 58. His inspiring tale continued when the limb-different fighter unleashed a methodical destruction on Japanese veteran Shinji Suzuki at ONE 171 in February.

Peacock put the entire division on notice with his spectacular third-round TKO demolition.

Appearing in a South China Morning Post interview, the 32-year-old expressed great optimism for the trajectory of his promising career.
