Anissa Meksen expects to come out with a victory this December at ONE Friday Fights 92. The French-Algerian superstar is slated to face exciting ONE newcomer Kana 'Krusher Queen' Morimoto in a high-stakes ONE atomweight kickboxing match at the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

With another fight guaranteed to spark fireworks, Meksen said she hopes to secure her second shot at the atomweight kickboxing gold with a decisive victory over the Japanese rival.

Speaking to Nick Atkin, the 36-year-old veteran very briefly told fans what kind of outcome she expects to have at ONE Friday Fights 92:

"I expect nothing. I just expect to win, simply."

Powerful, precise, and instinctual, Anissa Meksen possesses the ability to put her opponents away with one to two quick movements.

However, after suffering a loss to Jackie Buntan for the inaugural ONE strawweight kickboxing gold, there's no telling how she'll prepare for Morimoto's arrival.

Kana is considered to be a top pound-for-pound kickboxer on the planet, with the skills capable of taking ONE Championship by storm. Equally dangerous, the 32-year-old star has an impressive 22-4 kickboxing record, 11 of which she won by knockout or TKO.

Keep a close eye on this fantastic matchup, which will take place on Friday, Dec. 20.


"I try to be a good person" - Anissa Meksen sees the value of being a force for good in the world

Anissa Meksen aims to be a ONE world champion before ultimately retiring. But more importantly, she hopes to be a force for good in the world she hopes to impact.

Although Meksen seems tough on the outside, on the inside she's genuinely a kind and compassionate person.

Her concern for the next generation of female fighters motivates her to continue her pursuit for excellence. Without expecting anything in return, Meksen hopes she impacts others as they impact her.

Speaking to ONE, she said:

"I try to be a good person, and I try to reach my goal of being a champion, simply."
