Jonathan Haggerty sets his sights on a third ONE World Championship belt

After capturing the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world titles with back-to-back knockouts against Nong-O Hama and Fabricio Andrade last year, Jonathan Haggerty has set his sights on becoming the promotion's first-ever simultaneous three-sport champion.

"Next, I want [Fabricio] Andrade's MMA belt," Haggerty said in an interview with Sports Illustrated. "I want to be ONE's MMA bantamweight champion.

'The General' already holds a victory over Andrade, defeating the bantamweight MMA world titleholder for the vacant bantamweight kickboxing crown in November. Could we see Haggerty go for a third belt in 2024?
