Haggerty made his ONE Championship debut in January 2019 and defeated Joseph Lasiri via unanimous decision.[1]

On 4 May 2019 he defeated the legendary Sam-A Gaiyanghadao at ONE Championship: For Honor to claim the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship.[2][3]

Immediately after receiving the belt he called out Thai boxing phenom Rodtang Jitmuangnon who he will be defending his belt against next.[4] On 2 August 2019 he lost the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship to Jitmuangnon in his first title defense at ONE Championship: Dawn of Heroes.[5][6]

Jonathan Haggerty eventually faced Rodtang in a rematch for the ONE Muay Thai title at ONE Championship: A New Tomorrow on 10 January 2020.
