Kickboxing superstar Anissa Meksen is determined to school Kana Morimoto at ONE Friday Fights 92.
The French-Algerian striker is set to give a warm welcome to former K-1 world Champion Kana 'Crusher Queen' Morimoto, in a high-stakes atomweight firefight at the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand on Dec. 20.
Meksen will start working early to make the shift back to the atomweight division, after colliding with Jackie Buntan for the inaugural strawweight kickboxing crown last Friday at ONE 169.
With the atomweight division stacking up with new talent, Meksen would be determined to continue asserting herself as one of the best fighters at ONE with a massive victory over Japan's finest kickboxers.

Speaking at the official ONE 169: Malykhin vs. Reug Reug press conference last week, she said:
"I will show her what I got and she won't understand anything."
Meksen recently fought in another instant classic at ONE 169. Her highly-anticipated bout with Jackie Buntan brought in the fireworks, as they traded leather for five full rounds.
Regrettably, Buntan edged the victory on Friday, depriving Anissa Meksen's chances of world title glory.
But with a decisive win over Morimoto, Meksen will once again be in the perfect spot to challenge former rival and ONE atomweight kickboxing world champion Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom for the atomweight crown.
ONE Friday Fights 92 airs live on Dec. 20 in North America via Prime Video.
