James Goyder

Jack Peacock has been added to the ONE 169 card, with the England-born, Canada-based fighter set to take on Shinji Suzuki in Atlanta on November 8.
Peacock was born with one hand but that has not stopped him from forging a successful career in Muay Thai. He comes from a famous sporting family and his father Gavin played football for Chelsea and Newcastle United.
Competing at ONE Friday Fights 68 earlier this year, Peacock Jnr scored a one-sided decision win over Kohei Shinjo at Lumpinee Stadium.
But he was not given his opportunity out of charity: he won a tournament to earn his contract with the promotion.
He will be facing a Japanese opponent again at ONE 169. Suzuki will be looking for his second win of 2024 having beaten former bantamweight title challenger Han Zi Hao by decision at ONE 166 earlier this year.

Peacock has clearly been watching that footage of Suzuki and it sounds like he is impressed by what he has seen.
“I know my opponent took a decision win over Han Zi Hao, dropping him for an eight count,” Peacock said.
“Han Zi Hao has been in there with the very best and took Nong-O to decision. So I know Suzuki will be bringing his very best and I hope he will be, because the fans deserve our very best, and he’s going to need to be his very best to deal with what I’ll be bringing on November 8.”
Peacock initially hoped to follow his father and grandfather into professional football. But he switched his focus to Muay Thai and moved to Canada with his family when he was 15 years old.
Calgary is nearly 4,000km from Atlanta but Peacock says that won’t stop people travelling to support him at ONE 169.
“Very excited to be fighting in the US,” he said. “I have loads of US fans. Many people from Georgia and surrounding states have already been messaging me saying they’ll be there. So I’m very excited to perform for them live. I’ve also got an army from Canada coming to support.”
ONE 169 will be the promotion’s third event to take place in the US. It is headlined by a heavyweight title fight with Anatoly Malykhin defending his belt against Oumar Kane, better known as “Reug Reug”.
The event is set for the 16,600-capacity State Farm Arena and is one of two currently booked for the country with ONE 168 set to take place in Denver next month.
