Reigning and undisputed ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion ‘The General’ Jonathan Haggerty of the United Kingdom has won world titles in two different weight classes. And he’s even open to moving up in weight or partaking in superfights to add to his legacy.
But the 28-year-old says he’s comfortable staying right where he is in the bantamweight division, because it’s where he feels strongest.
“Oh yeah, for sure. This is definitely where home is, bantamweight. Maybe catchweights, super fights, who knows? But bantamweight is a division that I’m here to stay in.”
Haggerty is the former ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion, former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion, and the current ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion.
Needless to say, Haggerty is one of the best fighters in the world when he’s firing on all cylinders. Not many opponents can match him strike for strike when he’s on point.
‘The General’ Jonathan Haggerty is one of the most talented strikers on the planet. But the 28-year-old says he kicks into another gear when the odds are stacked against him and he’s face-to-face with a dangerous opponent.
He told the Mulligan Brothers in a recent interview:
“When I think of fear, I think of my body shaking, adrenaline, and like scared. To overcome it, just block it out. I just block it out. As I said, getting in that ring is very scary. It’s a lot of fear. And getting past that. I need fear to fight. I fight better with fear.”
