Jonathan Haggerty has led an incredible life, from winning world titles in two sports, to attacked by a wild animal.
Tomorrow night the Brit returns to action in his long-awaited comeback fight at one championship 171, in the Lusail Sports Arena in Qatar.
In a match-up that seems to create guaranteed fireworks, Haggerty will try to defend his Bantamweight Kickboxing World Championship against Wei Rui.
And although his Chinese rival will try to get him out, this is not the first time the warrior has had to deal with a poisonous opponent.

Jonathan Haggerty was shocked when a snake jumped on him
In his phenomenal career, Jonathan Haggerty has proven himself as one of the best combat sports sports enthusiasts, who picks up belts in both Muay Thai and kickboxing.
The performances of the 28-year-old were so impressive that Demetrious Johnson Haggerty told that he would like him to move to MMA and emulate Alex Pereira.
To achieve such a high level, the Londoner had to do the work, previously living in Thailand for nine months to sharpen his craft. And it is fair to say that he was in a few insane situations.
In an exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow, he confessed: “The craziest thing that happened to me is probably hit by a motorcycle. I had a snake jump on me from the upper step. My brother and I walked up to the villa and a snake stared at us, and it just jumped straight to me, so that was probably one of the craziest experiences. “
Fortunately, Thailand is usually not that frightening, with Haggerty recently forming a friendship with a monkey.
The legend chuckled: 'That's my little friend. I'm going to take him home. I was at the ATM and I saw someone with it on his shoulder.
“I thought, let me go into the store and say hello to it. I went inside and he put him on my shoulder. It was good to be honest. I have to get one. “
