The 18-year-old Kuala Lumpur native says he’s learned a lot from his seniors, and is excited to showcase his improvements in his next fight.

‘Jojo’ told the world’s largest martial arts organization:

"They have so many different styles of fighting, and I can work on my kicks, I can work on my elbows, and so much more. The goal is to really sharpen up my original style, just in case I fight against another tricky opponent."

Ghazali is set to return to action this weekend against dangerous Moroccan Zakaria El Jamari in a three-round flyweight Muay Thai contest.

The two trade leather at ONE Fight Night 35: Buntan vs. Hemetsberger on Prime Video, which is set to broadcast live in U.S. primetime on Friday, September 5, from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action live and absolutely free with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.

Since he joined the renowned Superbon Training Camp last year, under the watchful eye of Superbon himself, ‘Jojo’ Johan Ghazali can’t stop gushing about his career development under the legendary fighter.

Ghazali said:

"Besides all the tips, his eye for recognizing what needs to be fixed is really good. This goes back to my point why I believe I'm in the best place to level up now."
