There is no denying that Muay Thai phenom Johan Ghazali has a bright future in ONE Championship. A significant reason for this sentiment from fans is because of his supremely impressive finishing abilities.
The 18-year-old rising star first stepped into the circle at ONE Friday Fights 6 in February 2023, where he notched a 16-second knockout of Padetsuk Fairtex. He followed this performance with a third-round finish of Tai Sor Jor Piek Uthai three months later.
After a unanimous decision win over Samurai Seeopal in July, 'Jojo' earned a six-figure contract to join the main roster with a second-round knockout of Temirlan Bekmurzaev in October. In his main roster run, Ghazali logged finishes over Edgar Tabares in December 2023 and Josue Cruz this past September.
