Reigning ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion Jonathan Haggerty of the United Kingdom has taken note of Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon’s fast rise in his division.
The 22-year-old Thai sparkplug has catapulted himself into fourth place in the top 5 following his stellar 6-2 campaign in the world’s largest martial arts organization.
Rambolek, who emerged as the first $100,000 contract winner at ONE Friday Fights, is now on a red-hot four-fight winning streak following his vicious TKO victory over Russia’s Dmitrii Kovtun at ONE Fight Night 36 in September.
If he keeps this up, a date with Haggerty may soon come to fruition.

‘The General’ even thinks so, which he shared in a recent interview with the South China Morning Post (SCMP):
“Rambolek. I believe Rambolek's going to be up there. Great fighter for sure. I'd definitely like to get it on with him if he plays his part and keeps winning.”
Rambolek initially stumbled after securing that life-changing contract and dropped two straight contests.
However, the heavy-handed sensation regrouped and joined Superbon Training Camp and went on a rampage since.
He’ll move one step closer to the division's elite if he beats fellow surging star Abdulla ‘Smash Boy’ Dayakaev at ONE Fight Night 37 on Prime Video on Nov. 7.
The full event will air live in U.S, primetime free for Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.

Jonathan Haggerty unbothered by underdog status vs Nabil Anane
Jonathan Haggerty will return to 'The Art of Eight Limbs' when he challenges ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nabil Anane at ONE 173.
Given the 21-year-old's dominance in the home of martial arts, most pundits see 'The General' as the underdog for this one.
However, the British striker isn't stressing about it, knowing what he's capable of.
"I've always been written off before. When I fought Nong-O, everybody thought, no, I won’t be able to do it. When I fought Sam-A, everyone thought I wouldn't be able to do it. Maybe they'll think the same against Nabil until I do it. So let's go,” he told SCMP.
