ONE Championship boss Chatri Sityodtong is eyeing an audacious Wembley “mega fight” between Tawanchai PK Saenchai and Jonathan Haggerty.
The two Muay Thai champs came face to face at ONE IGNITE, a business-to-business event hosted by the martial arts promotion in Bangkok on Wednesday afternoon.
Haggerty, fresh from becoming a two-sport champion by claiming the bantamweight kickboxing title on Saturday in the Thai capital, had told the Post he dreams of a fight with his featherweight counterpart – because “he’s the biggest challenge”.
The feeling appears to be mutual. “Hope one day we will [fight],” Tawanchai said in a Facebook post on Thursday, along with a picture of the two facing off on stage at the W Bangkok Hotel.
“Was good to meet you today,” Haggerty responded on Instagram, posting the same picture.
