PETALING JAYA: Malaysian muay thai fighter Johan Ghazali’s sensational knockout of Moroccan fighter Zakaria El Jamari has many calling it a comeback, but the Sarawakian sees it differently.

The 18-year-old Johan, or better known as Jojo in the ring, took just two minutes and 10 seconds to send Zakaria to the mat in the flyweight class bout at ONE Fight Night 35 at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok yesterday.
