Bangkok, Thailand — Malaysian-American rising star Johan “Jojo” Ghazali delivered a dominant performance at ONE Fight Night 35 with a technical knockout win over Moroccan veteran Zakaria El Jamari. The fight ended swiftly at just 2 minutes and 10 seconds into the opening round at Lumpinee Stadium.
The 18-year-old striker–known for his aggressive knockout style—bounced back from a recent split-decision loss at ONE Fight Night 32 by showcasing refined composure and precision in this bout.
Redemption Delivered
Ghazali’s win serves as immediate redemption after his June loss, returning the teenager to the win column in emphatic fashion. Martial arts spectators noted his enhanced strategy and sharper execution.
Before the fight, Ghazali openly acknowledged the need to evolve past pure knockout power: “I needed to switch my style… I needed to expand my strategic framework,” he said. Training at Superbon’s camp and with elite technicians helped him build a more versatile attack.
