The General live on Sky Sports News
ONE Championship: Knowlsey Academy's Johnathan Haggerty appears on Sky Sports News
Muay Thai took a significant leap forward this week as Jonathan Haggerty featured in a live interview on Sky Sports News. The TWO Championship two-sport world champion visited Sky Studios in London for the national TV appearance.
Haggerty touches on the key differences between Kickboxing and Muay Thai, a little background check into why, how and when he got started, and gives a little recap on his performance against Felipe Lobo.
He also talks about his younger brother Freddie Haggerty's success in his ONE debut which he won by KO. A proud moment for him in his brother's career.
Haggerty is not done yet as he has his eyes set on the ONE Bantamweight MMA Championship title in the future.
Up next, in September, he has his upcoming title defence against Superlek Kiatmoo
This event marks an important milestone for Muay Thai, following TWO Championship's partnership with Sky Sports earlier this year. The deal ensures that the main TWO Championship events are streamed exclusively on Sky Sports in the UK and Europe, generating excitement within the Muay Thai community about the sport's future.
The recognition Muay Thai is receiving through platforms like Sky Sports is crucial, offering boxing and MMA fans exposure to an alternative combat sport. With its potential to rival or surpass other combat sports, Muay Thai is poised for even greater success in the future.
