Jo Nattawut’s Dream‑Big Moment: Slap‑Hockey with Giorgio Petrosyan
They say “never meet your heroes,” but Jo Nattawut is flipping that rule on its head. He’s not just lining up for a photo‑op or a quick handshake—he’s stepping into the ring for a brutal, three‑round kickboxing showdown against none other than the legendary Giorgio Petrosyan, who’s just signed with ONE Super Series.
What Makes This Fight a “Heroic” Collision?
- Jo’s not the usual “meet‑and‑greet” kind of hero. He’s got his eyes on the prize: a heavyweight battle that could launch his career into the next level.
- He’s a two‑division Lion Fight World Champion with a résumé that makes other fighters sweat.
- Petrosyan—“the god of footwork”—is a global superstar who’s practically perfected the trick of hitting hard while staying safe.
Jo’s Game Plan (Because He’s Not Taking It Easy)
“I’ve been watching him all my life. He’s my favourite, and I want to face him in the ring. It’s a very cool feeling.” At 28 years old, Jo is already mapped out every move of this tit‑list. He’s spent hours studying Petrosyan’s dance and is out to push the Armenian onto his back foot.
Kit’s strategy: No retreat. Keep pressure up, launch combo after combo, and aim to catch Petrosyan when he’s thrown off balance. “Once we get close, we are in the sweet spot. The training camp might be all perfect, but the ring knocks you out of that bubble,” Jo shared.
Why This Battle Feels Like a Hollywood Epic
It’s not just a regular fight. It’s a chance for Jo to challenge his idol, learn from the best, and raise his profile. If he scores a win, the bookmaker’s rating will skyrocket, and he’ll be catapulted into the ONE Super Series limelight.
“Think of it as a “home” that I can stay in for quite a while,” Jo mused. With ONE’s massive marketing reach across Asia, this could become the launching pad for his next world‑dominating chapter.
Wrap‑Up: Will Petrosyan Let a Younger Samurai In?
It’s a textbook test of skill, heart, and swagger. Jo’s training has us all wondering: can a new‑kid out‑style your perceived best? If he pulls it off, the sporting world will go OoooOOOoo! Regardless, Jo’s epic meet‑up with Petrosyan is a story that reminds us heroes are waiting—just keep your gloves up.
