The best photos from the historic ONE Fight Night 20 on International Women's Day 

A historical ONE Fight Night 20 card celebrating International Women’s Day 2024 hit the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in American primetime last Friday, March 8, and it was every bit thrilling from start to finish.

Featuring nine bouts across Muay Thai, MMA, submission grappling, and kickboxing, the female-only showcase proved why women deserve just as much of the spotlight as their male compatriots in the ever-evolving world of combat sports.

Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom, who faced multiple hurdles at the start of her career – even being forced to face boys due to a lack of opportunity – pulled off the biggest shock in the main event of the iconic night.

The 22-year-old Thai striking dynamo dished out a striking clinic of the highest order to upset Janet Todd across five rounds of kickboxing action, successfully unifying the ONE atomweight kickboxing world title in the process.

She couldn’t hold her emotions back when she was covered in gold confetti with the prized possession resting on her shoulder.

After reaching the highest of highs in ONE, including a couple of impeccable title-winning performances, ‘JT’ rode off into the sunset as one of the finest to ever grace the ONE circle at ONE Fight Night 20.
