After impressive competition at professional muay tournament in North America, Jake Peacock was recruited by ONE Championship. He officially debuted at One Lumpinee 58. Peacock played at Bantamweight weight class, and his opponent was Japanese boxer Kohei Shinjo.
The competition between Jake Peacock and Kohei Shinjo closed in 3 tense rounds. The final victory is in favor of a martial artist, when he was approved by 3 inspections. This match also helps Peacock to raise the performance table to play to 13 victory – 1 defeat.
The only pity of Peacock in the last match was that he could not win the knock-out. 11/12 Peacock's previous victory ended earlier than expected time. However, the overwhelming performance against the Japanese opponent helps Peacock to ensure this match.
Sharing with the Organizing Committee of One Championship after the match ended, Peacock said: “I never wanted everyone to pay attention to me just because I had one hand. I want to keep my mood calm, do my job and be recognized as a professional boxer.”
Peacock himself admitted that he also wanted himself to be an inspiration, more motivation for everyone. Martial artists with two citizens of England and Canada thanked ONE Championship for giving him the opportunity to play at the world's largest professional playground.
“I know I'm born to play in big playgrounds, and One Championship is the biggest tournament. I want to devote beautiful matches to the audience. Not everyone has the ability to play and dedicate? That's what I want to show in ONE Championship,” Peacock said.
