In addition to the belt struggles, One Lumpinee 58 also welcomed a very special boxer preparing to launch the tournament. It was Jake Peacock. Martial artists with two citizens of British and Canada are known for his continuous fighting in the Muay competition floor despite the disability, only one side of the good hand.
“From the moment I heard about Road to One, I felt that it was an opportunity to enter a world martial arts tournament. ONE Championship was the world arena, every boxer who was participated in the One event was a great honor,” Jake Peacock said.
Peacock shared the moment he texted the President One: “Interestingly, four years ago I texted chairman Chatri Sityodong. I said that I really wanted to participate and play in the shirt of One.”
Before coming to One Championship, Jake Peacock won the professional Muay in North America. In the first 9 matches, Peacock won 8. Even though there was only one hand, he was highly appreciated in his ability to kick, as well as launching the elbow accurately with his left hand.
Muay Peacock added: “According to what I remember, I played a lot of different sports. I played basketball, swimming with the spirit of competition, even playing football. I also practiced Karate and spent a lot of time on this. Always keeping the attitude and views never think that I am more special than anyone. This has made me believe that if I want to do something, I can do something.”
Jake Peacock's opponent in the One Championship debut in the Bantamweight scale is Kohei Shinjo, Japanese boxer. The event took place on April 5 with 11 matches. Shinjo has a knack for Muay and Kickboxing. He won against rival Riku Hirahara at the Rise West Zero event in Japan in March 2021.
