Jonathan Haggerty gets support from former rival ahead of ONE 171

Liam Harrison has shown his full support to his countryman Jonathan Haggerty ahead of the latter’s impending world title defense. And it looks like their beef is squashed.

Haggerty will put his ONE bantamweight kickboxing world title on the line against Chinese superstar Wei Rui at ONE 171: Qatar card on February 20 at Lusail Sports Arena. Taking to Instagram, the former ONE bantamweight and flyweight Muay Thai world champion shared that he wrapped up his training camp a day before leaving Thailand for Qatar.

Interestingly, Harrison had a simmering feud with his fellow British superstar. Now, he was one of the first people to show his love to Haggerty in the comments section. He wrote:

“Some shape geezer. And still “

How did the beef between Jonathan Haggerty and Liam Harrison settle?

Haggerty and Harrison are considered to be two of the greatest British strikers of all time, with the latter being one of the pioneers of Muay Thai and kickboxing in Great Britain. Despite their similarities, the two feuded over the past two years with fans clamoring for a fight between Harrison and Haggerty in London.

Things, however, were cooled off when the two were part of the historic ONE 168: Denver card in September 2024. Harrison fought fellow Muay Thai legend Seksan in the event, while Haggerty defended the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title against ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 in the headliner.

While there have been many fighters from Britain over time, these two have made their presence felt in kickboxing. Despite fans calling for a fight between the two, it is better if they continue to rise in their separate ways and make way for future generations of fighters.
