Jake Peacock secured his chance to compete for ONE Championship by winning the Road to ONE: Canada. That, in and of itself, was an inspirational story for the limb-different athlete. However, Peacock did not just come to be a story; he came to ONE to compete against the world’s best strikers.
At ONE Friday Fights 58, Peacock showed everybody he could handle himself under the bright lights. In a three-round battle against Kohei Shinjo, Peacock got a unanimous decision victory. Grateful for the opportunity, Peacock was able to reflect on his performance following the event.
Jake Peacock: “I’m going straight back to the drawing board.”
“[My debut] was domination from bell to bell. And there’s no doubt I deserved the decision. I had fun in there, got settled in, and took my time. I didn’t get the finish. I was always looking for it, but it was nice for me to settle in for my debut,” Peacock reflected to ONE.
There will be little rest for the British-Canadian athlete. Always looking to continue improving, Peacock assured everyone that he would be right back in the gym. After a dominant debut, “The One” is ready for whatever challenge comes his way next.
