The 26-year-old British superstar is coming off a highly successful calendar year in 2023 after winning two world titles and beating Nong-O Hama and Fabricio Andrade, respectively, to join the exclusive list of ONE Championship athletes who won two world titles in two different sports.


Jonathan Haggerty ready for more super fights and mega showdowns in 2024

Due to his back-to-back world title triumphs, the Keddles Gym, Knowlesy Academy, and Team Underground-affiliated fighter has opened up more potential super fights in 2024. With his current form, he seems ready to take on anyone that ONE Championship would put in front of him and dominate them.

Among the leading candidates to have a piece of ‘The General’ are Fabricio Andrade (in a potential rematch for the ONE bantamweight MMA world title), Tawanchai PK Saenchai (in a potential ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title clash), and Nico Carrillo (in a potential ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title defense).
