'The General' is deep in preparation for his build to reclaim two-sport supremacy. Haggerty will challenge reigning bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nabil Anane in one of seven world title bouts at ONE 173: Supebron vs. Noiri.

It is all systems go for the British slugger ahead of this gargantuan striking fest on November 16 at Ariake Arena. ONE Championship shared a clip of Haggerty smashing the pads with his longtime trainer, Christian Knowles:

Haggerty's vicious punches and kicks look as sharp as ever, as he seeks to solve the towering Anane's puzzle at ONE 173.

Plus, the 28-year-old will return to his natural striking roots. He'll be able to unleash his vast arsenal under Muay Thai rules.

Apart from the dazzling combinations he showed, Haggerty also became a fan-favorite for his signature moves. It would be interesting to see if he can land his crushing tomahawk elbow and punishing teep kicks against the mighty Anane.
