Jake (The One) Peacock takes on Japan ’s Shinji Suzuki on Thursday at One 171: Qatar in Lusail .

The 31-year-old Canadian was born without a right hand after the amniotic band was wrapped around his arm in the early stages of development, which stopped it from growing.

He only wears one glove but uses his right arm to deliver elbows and other strikes.

The card also sees Britain 's Jonathan (The General ) Haggerty defend his One kickboxing bantamweight title.

He is enjoying the spotlight in One Championship. “I’m having a great time. I love it,” he said. “And I was made for this. I was made to entertain. I enjoy the press. Obviously fighting is the pinnacle of it but I enjoy it all.” As he did in Bangkok , the Albertan will enter and leave the ring wearing a cowboy hat. “ The Wild West is coming to the Middle East We’re ready for a Western shootout,” he said enthusiastically..
