The Meteoric Rise of “The General”
Haggerty’s journey from the United Kingdom to the global stage is quite impressive. This Muay Thai maestro stunned the world by clinching the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title, especially with his unforgettable triumph over Muay Thai legend Sam-A Gaiyanghadao in 2019. Moving up a weight class, Haggerty further etched his name in history by defeating the reigning ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion, Nong-O Hama, with a jaw-dropping first-round TKO.

Dedicated to his craft, Haggerty’s training regimen is both intensive and holistic. Recognized for his unique fusion of traditional Muay Thai techniques and dynamic kickboxing strategies, Haggerty’s workouts are as unpredictable as his fighting style.
