Jonathan Haggerty has dropped off a second straight ONE Championship card at late notice because of illness, a source has told the Post.

The 25-year-old Englishman was set to compete in an alternate bout for the flyweight Muay Thai Grand Prix on Saturday morning’s ONE on Prime Video 1 card in Singapore.

But “The General” has again suffered an undisclosed illness on the eve of his fight, having dropped out of the eight-man tournament at late notice in May.

This time former champion Haggerty was set to face Malaysia’s Amir Naseri on the lead card portion of the martial arts promotion’s debut on Amazon’s streaming service, which will air in prime time in the US on August 26.

The bout’s removal has prompted a reshuffle, with Panpayak Jitmuangnon’s alternate clash against Sherzod Kabutov moved over from Friday night’s ONE 160 event.
