Anna ‘Supergirl’ Jaroonsak has yet again demonstrated that she’s got what it takes to compete against some of the top fighters in ONE Championship.
Prior to facing Fernandez, the teenage rising star gained a new level of confidence by giving Stamp Fairtex, the former two-sport world champion, a run for her money in her last kickboxing match. Though she lost the bout by split-decision, she earned a hefty $50,000 USD performance bonus for her efforts.
With her return to the winning column, Jaroonsak is hopeful that she’ll have a chance to fight for the ONE atomweight kickboxing world title soon. After her dominant performance against Fernandez, it’s only a matter of time before she gets her wish.
