Superlek believes Jonathan Haggerty clash has multiple outcomes: “There are a lot of factors at play”
Superlek sees multiple potential outcomes for his upcoming clash with Jonathan Haggerty.
Emanating from Ball Arena in The Mile High City, ONE 168: Denver will see two-sport king Jonathan Haggerty put his ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship on the line against 'The Kicking Machine' in one of the most anticipated headliners of 2024.
With their title tilt less than a week away, Superlek sat down to speak with the South China Morning Post about their ONE 168: Denver showdown and how he sees things playing out between the two pound-for-pound greats.
"We both want a knockout, but I'm not sure if it's going to be early. I'm not sure if it's going to be in the later round, because there are a lot of factors at play."
Superlek goes into his first shot at Muay Thai gold under the ONE banner having won 10 straight in the art of eight limbs, including a unanimous decision victory over 'The Iron Man' Rodtang Jitmuangnon, who defeated Haggerty in back-to-back bouts during their iconic flyweight feud.

Jonathan Haggerty also goes into his latest world title defense riding an impressive streak, including a trio of insane knockouts against Thai legend Nong-O Hama, current ONE bantamweight MMA world champion Fabricio Andrade, and 'Demolition Man' Felipe Lobo.
Considering Haggerty's string of highlight-reel finishes and his own proclivity for delivering absolute bangers on martial arts' biggest global stage, 'The Kicking Machine' expects his scrap with 'The General' to be nothing short of explosive.
"It'll be explosive. I'll go all out in this fight. It'll be exciting, and you won't be disappointed! I've always been a technical fighter. I've never been knocked out in my career, but I'll go all out this time."
