The limb-different fighter shared in a recent South China Morning Post (SCMP) interview:
"If you haven't seen one, you'll be hooked. And if you have seen one, I know you're hooked. I appreciate the support. I appreciate the love big time. I do fight for you guys."After his emphatic promotional debut win over Kohei Shinjo, Peacock put the division on notice in his next outing. The British-born Canadian dismantled Japanese veteran Shinji Suzuki via a spectacular third-round TKO at ONE 171 last February.
The Road to ONE Canada winner looks to continue his ascent through the stacked bantamweight Muay Thai division. A win over Suakim puts him closer to a top-5 opponent next.
