Reigning and undisputed ONE women's strawweight Muay Thai world champion 'The Hurricane' Smilla Sundell of Sweden has proven to be one of the most dominant world champions in ONE Championship today.
At the age of 19, 'The Hurricane' has already achieved much in her career, which includes being a world champion. And like all great champions, Sundell welcomes any and all challengers to come her way.
In fact, the Swedish teenage sensation says she is particularly excited about a pair of rising new contenders in the division whom she deems as worthy challenges.
Speaking to the South China Morning Post in a recent interview, Sundell mentioned Belarusian 'Barbie' Ekaterina Vandaryeva and Polish power puncher Martyna Kierczynska as two particular opponents she is intrigued by.
'The Hurricane' stated:
"Ekaterina [would be a good fight]. Because I think she had a good fight last time out. [Martyna] too, because they are new girls."
Vandaryeva is coming off the heels of her first victory in ONE Championship, winning by unanimous decision over Kierczynska herself just last March.
The 22-year-old Kierczynska, meanwhile, is 1-1 so far in the organization, which includes a two-round annihilation of highly regarded Nat 'Wondergirl' Jaroonsak.
Needless to say, Sundell fancies herself against either woman, but she needs to take care of business first against her next challenger.
