The timeless matchup of new generation versus veteran icon in the headliner of ONE Fight Night 20 is going to be the center of everyone’s attention come fight night.

Happening on International Women’s Day this coming Friday, March 8 inside the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, the status of undisputed ONE atomweight kickboxing world champion will be up for grabs.

The reigning world champion in Janet Todd has been a staple in the world of combat sports for the better part of her 15-year career and even produced a seven-fight winning streak under ONE Championship in the past.

Staring across her inside the ONE Circle will be the interim atomweight kickboxing world titleholder in Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom.

The 22-year-old will have the benefit of having the energy of youth on her side as she is 16 years younger than ‘JT’ and has been undefeated through five fights with four of them being TKO wins.

Add in the fact that this will be Todd’s retirement bout, the stakes just got even higher.
