“I want to impress her” - Johan Ghazali shares how his girlfriend motivates him to live up to his full potential

18-year-old Malaysian-American Muay Thai sensation 'Jojo' Johan Ghazali is motivated by being the best he can be in his chosen martial art.

But as the saying goes, behind every strong man is an even stronger woman. Ghazali says his girlfriend motivates him to live up to his full potential.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Ghazali talked about his significant other, and gave her credit for fueling his drive to succeed.

'Jojo' told the world's largest martial arts organization in a recent interview:

"Since meeting her, I train harder. I do everything harder. I tackle obstacles with a better peace of mind because I know there’s people counting on me. I want to impress her as well, and that is why I try to do my best in everything I approach. I wanna do everything for her, and for my family, too."

Ghazali is ready to make his return to action in a few weeks, and the Malaysian-American star can't wait to showcase his skills on the global stage once again.
