Thai superstar Kiatmoo9 is interested in facing British striker Jonathan Hagerty at some point in the ONE Championship.
The General piqued The Kicking Machine’s interest after the former knocked out longtime champion Nong-O Hama in the opening round of their title bout in April to become the new bantamweight king of Muay Thai.
Superlek noticed the strength shown by Haggerty, and said, given the chance, he’d want to test himself against her.
The 27-year-old Kiatmoo9 Gym, who is also the ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion, shared the ONE Championship in an interview:
“I won’t say that I want to be his first opponent, but I want to test my skills with him. He’s someone strong enough for KO Nong-O, so I want to test his strength.”
But before he gets a shot at Haggerty, Superlek is working on preparing for the fight scheduled for later this week.
The Thai juggernaut will take on Russian striker Tagir Khalilov in the first match at ONE Fight Night 12 on Prime Video on July 14 in Bangkok.
The two appear in a Muay Thai flyweight match, which is part of a nine match show that takes place at the Lumpini Boxing Stadium and is available for free to Prime Video subscribers in North America.
Superlek would make a brief turnaround, having fought and won just last June 23 against towering opponent Nabil Anani in a Muay Thai duel.
ONE Fight Night 12 is also his fourth appearance this year. He defeated Daniel Puertas of Spain in January to claim the vacant kickboxing flyweight title. Then, in March, he successfully defended it against Thai-Australian contender Daniel Williams.
Meanwhile, Tagir Khalilov is also entering the competition on a high, winning his last two matches on the way to a first-round finish. Samingpri is determined to continue his winning streak and claim the title against reigning division king Rodtang Jetmangnun.
