Current ONE bantamweight kickboxing champion Johnathan Haggerty is slated to face Chinese kickboxing phenom Wei Rui at ONE 171. This is a tall order, where the Haggerty’s stakes are just as high as ever. Johnathan Haggerty is coming off a brutal loss to ONE flyweight kickboxing champion Superlek in a fight where “The General” lost his bantamweight Muay Thai title.
Since winning the ONE bantamweight kickboxing world championship against Fabrício Andrade in late 2023, Haggerty has not defended the belt. His opponent is the Chinese kickboxing phenom Wei, a fighter who has won many world titles, including the prestigious K-1 World Grand Prix and becoming a K-1 champion in their lightweight division, or 62.
