Muay Thai career[]
Early life[]
Haggerty grew up in a tough part of Walworth Road, London. He learned Muay Thai from his father at the age of 7, and he started competing as an amateur at the age of 12.
Early career[]
Haggerty made his professional debut in 2014, against Anthony Edwards, winning the fight by a fourth round TKO. He would win his next four fights by stoppage, before fighting Gery Bavetta at Muaythai Mayhem for the ISKA World Super-Featherweight Muay Thai title. He defeated Bavetta by a third round knockout.[1]
In his next two fights, Haggerty defeated Geo Marchese and James O'Connell by a first round stoppage.[2] He suffered his first professional loss during Yokkao 28, losing a decision to Ja Kiatphontip. He rebounded with a second round knockout of Keith McLachlan at Yokkao 29. He was scheduled to fight Liam Harrison at Yokkao 31, but the fight would later fall through.[3] Harrison was replaced by Superlek Kiatmuu9,[4] with Superlek winning by TKO. Before appearing at Yokkao 31, Haggerty won the WBC Muaythai Super Featherweight International title with a TKO of Isaac Araya.[5]
ONE Championship[]
Haggerty made his ONE Championship debut in January 2019 and defeated Joseph Lasiri via unanimous decision.[6]
On May 4, 2019 he defeated the legendary Sam-A Gaiyanghadao at ONE Championship: For Honor to claim the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship.[7][8]
Immediately after receiving the belt he called out Thai boxing phenom Rodtang Jitmuangnon against whom he would make his first title defence.[9] The bout took place on August 2nd, 2019, with Haggerty losing the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship to Jitmuangnon at ONE Championship: Dawn of Heroes.[10][11]
Jonathan Haggerty eventually faced Rodtang in a rematch for the ONE Muay Thai title at ONE Championship: A New Tomorrow on January 10, 2020. He was knocked down in the opening round and was dominated for the remainder of the fight, losing by TKO in the third round after being knocked down three times in the round.[12]
Haggerty's next fight was against the Japanese opponent Taiki Naito at ONE Championship: Big Bang 2.[13] He won the fight by unanimous decision, scoring a knockdown in both the first and the second round.[14]
Haggerty was scheduled to face former ONE Flyweight Kickboxing world title challenger Elias Mahmoudi at ONE on TNT 4 on April 28, 2021.[15] Their fight was cancelled due to COVID-19 travel restrictions and Haggerty was unable to make it to the bout.
