21-year-old Thai superstar Phetjeeja is already one of the most talented female Muay Thai fighters in the world today. But by becoming a ONE world champion, she believes she will only get better.

Phetjeeja has always dreamed of becoming a world champion in ONE Championship, the world’s largest martial arts organization, and this weekend she will finally get her chance.

‘The Queen’ is set to face multiple-time kickboxing world champion ‘C18’ Anissa Meksen at ONE Friday Fights 46: Tawanchai vs. Superbon, which broadcasts live from the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on Friday, December 22nd.

The winner will go home with the ONE interim women’s kickboxing world title.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Phetjeeja says she is excited for the opportunity to face Meksen but even more pumped to get the chance to hoist the ONE Championship belt over her shoulders.

‘The Queen’ said:

“In my opinion, if I can win and become world champion, I think it will change in many ways. More people will follow me. My encouragement will increase significantly, foreign people will follow and know me more.”
