Are you ready for a striking masterclass? Jonathan Haggerty, the British kickboxing star, is set to defend his bantamweight Muay Thai world title against Brazil’s Felipe Lobo, and it’s all happening live on Sky Sports on February 17. This fight shows a true phenom in martial arts. Haggerty, 26, has won titles in kickboxing and Muay Thai at ONE Championship, defeating legendary champions.
Haggerty’s prowess isn’t just recognized in the ring; he’s also received a warm reception from Thai locals in Phuket, where he’s been training for the past eight months. His fighting style – fast, strong, and fearless – has won him fans far and wide, and he’s ready to bring that same energy to the ring against Lobo. This isn’t just a fight; it’s a testament to Haggerty’s dedication and skill, and a chance for UK fans to rally behind a homegrown talent who has risen to become a two-sport world champion.
Chatri Sityodtong, CEO of ONE Championship, lauded UK fans for never witnessing a striker like Haggerty. Best in the UK, possibly globally too. Haggerty’s remarkable story and undeniable talent fuel his hunger for more, eyeing MMA for a future title fight.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. First, Haggerty has to face Lobo at ONE Fight Night 19, and it’s going to be a battle. The event, broadcasting live from the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, will be available for fans around the world. Those in the US and Canada can watch live on Prime, and it’s also available on ONE YouTube and ONE Facebook, with geo-restrictions applying. So, mark your calendars for February 16th, because this is a fight you won’t want to miss.
