The combat sports world is buzzing as Jonathan Haggerty and Superlek Kiatmoo9 are set to renew their rivalry in a highly anticipated rematch. The bout, which will see Haggerty defend his ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title, promises to be a thrilling encounter between two of the best in the sport.

Jonathan Haggerty Out for Redemption: Can He Avenge His Only TKO Loss Against Superlek?

The stage is set for a high-stakes rematch as Jonathan Haggerty puts his ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title on the line against the formidable Superlek Kiatmoo9. The rivalry between these two warriors dates back to 2018 when Superlek defeated Haggerty via TKO in a controversial stoppage in the UK. Now, six years later, Haggerty seeks redemption on the grand stage of ONE Championship.

Haggerty, a two-sport king, has since transformed into a more formidable athlete. He captured the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title in 2019 and, after moving up a weight class, claimed the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title in April 2023 by knocking out Nong-O Hama. Further solidifying his legacy, Haggerty added the ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Title to his name last November.

However, Superlek is no less impressive. With a staggering 12-bout winning streak, the reigning ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion is now eyeing a historic second victory over Haggerty. Moving up in weight, Superlek aims to become a two-sport, two-division World Champion.

This fight in Denver is more than just a title defense for Haggerty; it’s his chance to rewrite history. Can Haggerty finally avenge his loss, or will Superlek prove to be an insurmountable hurdle once again?

Superlek Kiatmoo9 Eyes Historic Achievement: Will He Dethrone Haggerty to Become a Two-Division World Champion?

Superlek Kiatmoo9 is on the brink of making history. The ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion is stepping up in weight to challenge Jonathan Haggerty for the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title. With an impeccable record and a current 12-bout winning streak, Superlek has his sights set on becoming a two-sport, two-division World Champion.

Superlek’s resume speaks volumes. Since joining ONE Championship in 2019, he has dominated his opponents, claiming the ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Title and defeating notable names like Rodtang Jitmuangnon and K-1 legend Takeru Segawa. This fight against Haggerty is more than just a shot at a new title; it’s a chance to cement his legacy in the annals of combat sports.

Haggerty, however, is no ordinary champion. Since their last encounter in 2018, where Superlek won via TKO, Haggerty has evolved into a two-sport champion himself. He’s hungry to avenge his past loss and has been unstoppable since moving up in weight.

As both fighters prepare to clash in Denver, fans are left wondering: Can Superlek achieve his dream of becoming a two-division World Champion, or will Haggerty thwart his ambitions and rewrite their storied rivalry?
