Reigning ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion ‘The General’ Jonathan Haggerty has every right to boast of his lofty status as one of the pound-for-pound best strikers in the world.
The 26-year-old two-sport ONE world champion believes the secret to his success has been that he has never taken any opponent lightly. As a result, Haggerty has become one of the most prolific world champions on the ONE roster and is quickly coming into his own as a legend.
Speaking to the South China Morning Post in a recent interview, Haggerty talked about how he views all of his opponents.
‘The General’ stated:
“Everyone I get in there with, I take it as if they're going to be the toughest test. I train as hard as possible for everyone and yeah this belt stands where it belongs and that's for me.”
Haggerty has established himself as the man to beat in ONE Championship’s stacked bantamweight division, and next week, he gets the opportunity to further his legendary run.
