Muay thai prodigy Johan Ghazali, at just 17 years of age, should draw plenty of consideration as One Championship’s prospect of the year. In just 10 months, the promotion’s youngest signee has rattled off four impressive victories and a trio of nasty knockouts.

A title shot may not be too far down the line, but Ghazali (4-0) will look to close out the year with a bang when he meets former flyweight contender Edgar Tabares in a ONE on Prime Video 17 showcase this Friday at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
