Jonathan Haggerty has been discharged from hospital after missing Friday night’s ONE Championship 157 event in Singapore for “health reasons”.

The former champ was set to compete in the Asian martial arts promotion’s flyweight Muay Thai Grand Prix opposite Walter Goncalves, only to withdraw on the morning of the fight with an undisclosed medical complaint, as revealed by the Post.

“Discharged, thank you all for your continued support! It really has put me at ease,” Haggerty wrote in a post on his Instagram story.

“I will be back stronger, believe me,” he added, with a picture of himself giving a thumbs up.

Instead of competing, Haggerty looked on as Goncalves dismantled late replacement Josue Cruz in 35 seconds to set up a semi-final with Superlek.

But the Brazilian is still keen to throw down with “The General”, whom he verbally clashed with in a pre-fight interview.
