The 26-year-old firecracker will headline ONE Fight Night 35 on Prime Video alongside Jackie Buntan for the vacant women's strawweight Muay Thai world championship at ONE Fight Night 35 on Sept. 5.

In order to deny the reigning women's strawweight kickboxing world champion’s two-sport aspirations, the underdog Hemetsberger emphasized her singular focus on the task at hand.

The RS-Gym and Phuket Fight Club representative said in an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda:

Stella Hemetsberger earned this chance of a lifetime through her remarkable showing in the ONE Friday Fights series.

She extended her promotional record to 3-0 with a first-round knockout of Vanessa Romanowski, which also secured her a six-figure contract from the home of martial arts.

With momentum on her side, Hemetsberger is aiming to continue her inspiring story with a legacy-defying victory over Buntan.
