Calgary bantamweight Jake (The One) Peacock returns to action in November in Tokyo

Jake Peacock, born without a right hand, earned a $100,000 contract by winning the Road to One tournament and will face Suakim in a Muay Thai bout at One 173.

  • At One 173 in Tokyo, Canadian bantamweight Jake Peacock will fight Suakim Sor Jor Tongprajin, who holds a 154-59-0 record and has won five straight.
  • Following his tournament victory, Peacock earned a US$100,000, six-fight contract with One Championship, having transitioned from Kyokushin Karate to Muay Thai and kickboxing after moving to Canada at 14.
  • Using a single-glove approach, Peacock was born without a right hand after an amniotic band halted its development, and opponents have struggled to figure him out.
  • Peacock’s latest wins include a decision over Kohei Shinjo in April 2024 in Bangkok and a third-round TKO of Shinji Suzuki in February in Lusail, Qatar, totaling two victories in One Championship.
  • Amid a title-heavy event at Ariake Arena, Superbon, undisputed featherweight champion, faces interim champion Masaaki Noiri in a unification match.
