Reigning and undisputed ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion Jonathan Haggerty is expecting a stern test if and when he locks horns with Nico Carrillo in the ONE Championship.
The two UK fighters have been on a collision course for some time now, and have both traded barbs on social media and through several interviews. Needless to say, the drama is starting to build up for this potential showdown.
Of course, the test for Haggerty will come in the form of Carrillo’s overbearing size. The Scottish sensation towers over ‘The General’ in height and reach, and is of much bigger frame.
