Two-time ONE Muay Thai world title champion Jonathan Haggerty is gearing up for a rematch against current flyweight kickboxing king, Superlek Kiatmoo9 on September 6 at ONE 168 in Ball Arena. Determined to avenge his previous loss, Haggerty is leaving nothing to chance in his upcoming fight. The two champions met each other in 2018 in Yokkao and the bout ended on a sour note for ‘The General’ as he was ruled out of the contest by the ring-side physician because of a massive cut.

In a new YouTube video titled “Road to Superlek EP.1 London” on his channel, Haggerty presented a self-made documentary showcasing his daily routine, from waking up to his visit to the Sky Sports network’s studio for their new show, MMA Club which is a dedicated show that represents everything from Mixed Martial Arts. During the filming, the 27-year-old reflected on his plans for the much-anticipated battle against Superlek.

In his vlog, Jonathan Haggerty revealed that he used to accept all the fights offered to him. However, he couldn’t resist the opportunity to fight Superlek. He also disclosed that their 2018 fight was just a warm-up, and he’s now in his prime and more experienced and powerful, ready to give Superlek a real challenge. “This feels like it was meant to be!” Haggerty exclaimed. “He’s been calling me out forever, obviously wants to fight at bantamweight. Let’s do it then, give the fans what they’ve been asking for!”

Later, Jonathan Haggerty filmed his outing on the Sky Sports MMA Club podcast hosted by Nik Hobbs and John Dennen. The hosts asked him about exorcising the demons of his 2018 fight against Superlek, which was stopped by the doctor. The 27-year-old replied with confidence, “100% we got the experience now when first fought with him I probably had about 13 fights now I’ve experienced I’ve got us both the belts um and I believe I will stop him and I will beat him for sure.”

Since their last meeting, both fighters have achieved significant accomplishments. Superlek now holds the ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Title with a record of 13-1, while Haggerty has become a double champion in ONE, holding both the Muay Thai and Kickboxing World Titles in the bantamweight division. This highlights Haggerty’s remarkable improvement in both physical and mental aspects and the danger he poses to Superlek in their upcoming rematch.

Haggerty reveals his intense mindset

Athletes with multiple belts are often considered to be “hungry fighters.” Their relentless desire to win and their dedication to self-improvement are what propel them to the top. Jonathan Haggerty, ‘The General’, exemplifies this perfectly. Despite holding multiple belts in Muay Thai and Kickboxing, he remains driven and hungry for further success.

Despite his amazing success, Haggerty remains hungry for more victories. His goals are ambitious, and he has big dreams. In his earlier interview with the South China Morning Post, Jonathan emphasized his belief in constantly pushing his limits. He stated, “Always leveling up. If I’m not leveling up, then what am I doing? I got the best coach in the world, and the best team in the world. Lyndon, my dad, and everyone got the best coaches in the world. If it ain’t success, then what’s going on.”

Now we’ll see if Jonathan Haggerty can live up to his words about pushing his limits against Superlek Kiatmoo9. Their history adds some intrigue as Haggerty previously lost to Superlek. Will it be a different story this time? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
