Malaysian-American Muay Thai sensation ‘Jojo’ Johan Ghazali is finally back in the win column after his much-needed victory over tough Moroccan Zakaria El Jamari.
The 18-year-old budding star scored a first-round knockout over El Jamari at the recently concluded ONE Fight Night 35: Buntan vs. Hemetsberger on Prime Video, unloading a barrage of fists and elbows on his adversary against the ropes.
After his fight, Ghazali immediately turned his attention to a man he has wanted to face for quite some time now - Denis ‘The Bosnian Menace’ Puric.
Speaking to veteran MMA reporter Nick Atkin in a recent interview, Ghazali called out Puric once again:

“Yeah, I would love that. I would love to fight him, but I think he's scared. Honestly. Honestly, I think he's scared because every time I call him out, he says, ‘Oh, you're not worthy.’ All this bullsh*t, man. Come on. I'm the fight to make after this fight with Takeru. Fight me.”Ghazali has long clamored for a showdown with Puric, and the two have gone back and forth on social media, building genuine fan interest in the matchup.
‘The Bosnian Menace’ has a fight coming up, so the Canadian needs to get past his next opponent before talks of a battle with Ghazali can be entertained. But ‘Jojo’ will be watching Puric’s next fight closely.
