In his 63kg catchweight muay thai clash yesterday, 17-year-old Johan, better known as “Jojo”, knocked out Mexican Edgar Tabares in 36s.

Representing Rentap Muay Thai Gym, the teenage sensation slammed a vicious left hook to the former ONE flyweight muay thai world title contender’s abdomen, sending him crumbling to the canvas and ending the match in a stunning upset.

With the victory, Johan improved his ONE Championship career record to 5-0, with four of those wins via knockout.

“My name is Johan; in Malay, it means champion. I will be forever on a mission to prove and live by my name.”

“Mark my words, I will be the youngest ONE Championship muay thai champion,” he said in an interview after the fight yesterday.

Despite his stunning performance, Johan failed to earn a hefty financial bonus after he failed to make his weight.

“Everything happens for a reason. It is a bump in my journey, but I will go and refine whatever I need. In my next fight, I will put on a show,” he said.

In October, Johan scored a US$100,000 ONE Championship contract after claiming four consecutive victories.
