Muay Thai phenom Johan Ghazali, a 17-year-old Malaysian-American fighter, missed the weight in his most recent fight, rendering him ineligible for a $50,000 performance bonus. Despite this setback, he won the fight, which made him happy. It was his ONE Championship main show debut, and he made quick work of his opponent, Mexican fighter Edgar Tabares, with a knockout in just 36 seconds. In an interview, Ghazali expressed his contentment with the win and not receiving the bonus, stating that he fights for the love of the sport rather than the money.
The victory marked his fifth straight win in 2021, showcasing his remarkable ascent in the ONE Championship. He has made a significant impact in the flyweight Muay Thai division, leading to discussions about a potential title showdown against Rodtang Jitmuangnon. Despite missing out on the bonus, Ghazali’s dedication to the sport is evident in his continued success.
The full replay of ONE Fight Night 17 is available for existing Prime Video subscribers in North America, allowing fans to witness Ghazali’s impressive performance.
