“We really want him to get better” - Nong-O takes a keen interest in Johan Ghazali’s progress at Superbon Training Camp

18-year-old Malaysian-American Muay Thai sensation 'Jojo' Johan Ghazali has some pretty significant names taking a vested interest in his rise.

Ghazali has kept himself in close contact with Thai legends while training at Superbon Training Camp in Bangkok. One of the veterans who have watched Ghazali closely over the past year is none other than former longtime ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion and Thai legend Nong-O Hama.

Speaking to South China Morning Post in a recent interview, Nong-O commented on Ghazali's progress so far, especially in getting ready for his next fight.

The Thai icon had some interesting observations. He said:

"Lately, we have noticed that Jojo's speed has gone down in terms of throwing weapons, so we really want him to get better. Now that I'm on a break, I'll be on break a little bit, and in a bit, I'll just go back to the gym to teach Jojo, prepare him for his upcoming fight."

Needless to say, with Nong-O and guys like Superbon and Tawanchai watching over Ghazali, the Malaysian-American rising star seems to be in very good hands.
