Young Muay Thai phenom Johan Ghazali will taking on the hardest task in his professional career so far.
At ONE 167: Tawanchai vs. Nattawut II on Prime Video, he will face a game Vietnamese star Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat in U.S. primetime on Friday, June 7.
Ahead of the event from Bangkok's Impact Arena, Ghazali is showing no signs of reluctance as his confidence is at all time high, promising to defeat his formidable foe.
In an interview with The Borneo Post, the 17-year-old striker said:
“It shouldn’t be a problem for me… I can beat him. I believe that I can because I have what it takes to win."

"I'm going for the knockout" - Johan Ghazali aims for the fifth finish at ONE 167
Johan Ghazali is continuing his rapid ascend to the top ranks of flyweight Muay Thai division.
It seems that nothing can stop Ghazali at the moment, with wins after wins in every appearance so far. And, although Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat can be seen as the next step up in competition, many thinks this phenomenal striker will still win.
The young Muay Thai stylist spoke in an interview with ONE:
"Like any other fight, I'm going for the knockout, hopefully in the later rounds, maybe round two or three. I believe I’ll tire him out by then and then it’ll allow me to get the finish a bit easier.”
As a teenager, he already had a huge impact in the promotion, which will likely to continue further. Fans are going to get very used to seeing 'Jojo' compete and most likelly, get his hand raised.
The only question remains: Can he maintain this winning streak when he sets his foot in the Circle on June 7?
