ONE Championship flyweight Muay Thai contender Jacob Smith of the United Kingdom has been a fighter nearly all of his life. Like many martial artists, it’s all he really knows. But the 32-year-old British striker admits he has a passion outside of the ring that has nothing to do with fighting.
Smith recently spoke with Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview and shared that he is a massive football fan.
The Bad Company / Thaifist representative said:
“Five fun facts, bloody hell. But I’ll tell you one. I’m an absolute massive football fan. I support Liverpool. And I’m an absolute massive, massive football fan. I played football my whole life growing up.”
Smith added:
“I love watching all football, I love following football, and I love playing football. And Liverpool Football Club means a lot to me as well. That’s one fun fact about me.”
Today, Smith is one of the most talented and most exciting strikers on the ONE Championship roster, and he can’t wait to showcase his incredible skills for the global fan base once again in his next fight.
We won’t have to wait long to see the 32-year-old United Kingdom man back in the ring against the toughest opponent of his career.
