Jonathan ‘The General’ Haggerty is en route to making history. He will face Fabricio ‘Wonder Boy’ Andrade for the vacant ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Title in U.S. primetime at ONE Fight Night 16 on November 3.
The world waits for the two men to collide. Given the skill sets on either side, the fans might expect a high-level striking display at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
In an exclusive interview with Sportsmanor, Jonathan Haggerty expressed his desire to become a three-sports world champion should he emerge victoriously against Fabricio Andrade this weekend at ONE Fight Night 16. With his sights set on a path of greatness, he expressed his determination to follow in the footsteps of the multi-talented athlete Stamp Fairtex.
When asked about his plans after his fight with Andrade, “The General” answered, “Yeah! For sure. Once, I beat Andrade, Um I will be calling him out for his MMA belt and I do want the MMA belt“.
With this, one thing has been made sure: Haggerty won’t just stop after he becomes the ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing champion he wants Andrade’s MMA title too.
