"I've never turned down a fight" - Jake Peacock willing to face "target" in his division

Canadian-English striking standout Jake Peacock isn't picky when it comes to opponents – he'll fight anyone ONE Championship puts in front of him.

The 32-year-old martial artist competes in ONE’s stacked bantamweight Muay Thai division, where world-class talent runs deep from top to bottom.

Speaking to the South China Morning Post (SCMP), Peacock made it clear that he has no interest in handpicking matchups or avoiding dangerous competition.

"You know what? Everyone's a target. Everyone's a target at 145 pounds. I don't care who it is. People send me a contract, and I just say yes. I've never turned down a fight. Throw me anyone, I'll be ready," Jake Peacock said.

The 32-year-old's willingness to face anyone reflects the mentality that has helped him navigate his way to two successive victories on martial arts’ grandest stage.

‘The One’ debuted with a strong performance in his three-round war against Kohei Shinjo at ONE Friday Fights 58 in April last year, and followed up with a sensational TKO of Shinji Suzuki in his sophomore outing at ONE 171: Qatar this past February.

He has another war in the offing, and he seems all ready to produce mayhem and remind fight fans why he's one of the most talented operators in the striking realm today.
