"The crowd in Japan always shows up" - Jake Peacock ready to light up the Ariake Arena at ONE 173 in Tokyo

Jake Peacock can't wait to showcase his skills in front of one of the most passionate fanbases in combat sports.

The Canadian-British striking superstar takes on Thai destroyer Suakim Sor Jor Tongprajin in a bantamweight Muay Thai duel at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri on Sunday, Nov. 16.

There, he makes his third promotional appearance on one of the promotion's most star-studded cards, and the 27-year-old couldn't contain his excitement to compete inside Tokyo's Ariake Arena during a recent interview with the South China Morning Post (SCMP).

"100 percent. The level on the card is fantastic, and the crowd in Japan always shows up. The fans always show up. And the fighters in ONE always show up. I think it's a recipe for an amazing card," Jake Peacock shared when asked about his excitement to compete in Japan and the incredible atmosphere the event promises to deliver.
