Rising Muay Thai phenom Johan Ghazali will return to U.S. primetime on Friday, June 7. At ONE 167: Stamp vs. Zamboanga on Prime Video, Ghazali will face his toughest test to date. Vietnamese star Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat will try to derail the 17-year-old’s hype train in Bangkok.

The Malaysian-American star has been sensational since arriving in ONE Championship last year. Ghazali has posted a perfect 6-0 professional record and is coming off an incredible 36-second KO over Edgar Tabares. Duy Nhat will be a measuring stick to “Jojo,” challenging the division’s elite as he looks to make his way up the flyweight ladder.

But Duy Nhat will have all the motivation he needs for himself. After four years away from action, “No. 1” returned last December in a losing effort against Denis Puric. The Vietnamese athlete will want to get a win under his belt to prove he has not lost a step in the red–hot flyweight division.

Stylistically, this matchup will be an electric showcase of Muay Thai that fans around the world will enjoy. Duy Nhat is an ever-exciting athlete, and “Jojo” has done nothing but thrill since his debut. Both athletes will be aggressive from the opening bell.

The incredible Muay Thai showdown joins a growing card of stars for ONE’s return to the Impact Arena. Tawanchai PK Saenchai will collide with “Smokin” Jo Nattawut in a rematch for the ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Championship. In the main event, Stamp Fairtex defends the ONE Atomweight MMA World Title for the first time against Denice Zamboanga.

ONE 167 airs live on Friday, June 7. The action emanates from the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand. The event airs on Prime Video and is free for all Amazon Prime members based in the U.S. and Canada.
