"Proper brothers right there" - Fans loving Jonathan Haggerty's bond with younger brother Freddie after stunning KO win
Freddie Haggerty continues to move in the right direction to become a potential world champion. Last weekend, he recorded his second consecutive knockout victory in ONE Championship at ONE Friday Fights 72.
Haggerty scored a buzzer-beater knockout against Kaichon Sor Yingcharoenkarnchang in front of the packed Lumpinee Stadium crowd in Bangkok, Thailand.
His winning moment alongside the side-by-side reaction of his older brother, Jonathan Haggerty, who reigns as the two-sport ONE bantamweight world champion, was recently posted by the promotion on Instagram, and they captioned it with:
"Sibling success 💪🔥 Can Jonathan Haggerty continue the siblings' winning streak by successfully defending his bantamweight Muay Thai strap against Superlek at ONE 168: Denver? @freddiehaggerty_ @jhaggerty_"
The wholesome moment from the Haggerty brothers celebrating the victory received positive reactions from fans, as users @jay_myers_2.0, @ulfhedinn_bublea, @rosswilliambrown, and @helexia commented on the video:
"That's 2 proper brothers right there 🙌"
"This is so wholesome"
"What a fighting family!"

Jonathan Haggerty shifts his full focus to world title clash at ONE 168: Denver
Now that his younger brother's fight is over and ended in a win, 'The General' will shift his focus back to preparing for the defense of his ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title against ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 on September 6 at ONE 168: Denver.
Haggerty and Superlek will face each other for the second time in their careers, and the former is looking to even their head-to-head score after the latter drew first blood in their first meeting in 2018 at YOKKAO.
Haggerty, who also holds the ONE bantamweight kickboxing world title, is on a six-fight win streak, which dates back to December 2020.
ONE 168: Denver goes down at the Ball Arena at U.S. primetime on Sept. 6. Tickets for the event are available on Ticketmaster.
