Muay Thai phenom Jake “The One” Peacock is set to make his hotly anticipated sophomore appearance in the world’s largest martial arts organization when he battles Japanese standout Shinji Suzuki in a bantamweight scrap at ONE 171: Qatar . The blockbuster event will take place on Thursday, February 20, at the beautiful Lusail Sports Arena. A post shared by ONE Championship (@onechampionship) A Road to ONE: Canada winner with proven knockout power, Peacock is one of the most inspirational athletes in all of combat sports.
The British-born Canadian resident is a limb-different fighter who was born without his right forearm. That limitation, though, has not stopped “The One” from taking the world of Muay Thai by storm. After employing his crafty footwork, clean combination striking, and savage finishing instincts to dominate the Canadian scene and win the ultra-tough Road to ONE tournament, Peacock made his promotional debut last April at ONE Friday Fights 58 .
A post shared by ONE Championship (@onechampionship) That night in Bangkok, he overwhelmed Japan’s Kohei Shinjo en route to a dominant decision victory, erasing any doubts that he belongs among the best strikers on the planet. Next up, the 31-year-old is in for a difficult test against Suzuki in Qatar. A post shared by ONE Championship (@onechampionship) Known for his elite fight IQ and venomous boxing-based attack, the Road to ONE: Japan winner will come into the contest following the biggest win of his career.
