The 27-year-old Boxing Works representative said:
"I went to Sitjaopho in Thailand and had a camp over there in Hua Hin to learn under the twins, to learn under F [Pet-tho]. And their style is just so pretty to watch and it's so lethal at the same time. I wouldn't say that, as my style is not similar to that. It's definitely technical. I do think I have a pretty style, but I tend to be more aggressive now. But growing up, I definitely loved watching Muay Femur, like technical fighters, making the movements look super pretty."
Buntan was last seen taking out French-Algerian kickboxing legend Anissa Meksen at ONE 169: Malykhin vs. Reug Reug, winning by unanimous decision after five spirited rounds.
The win earned her the inaugural ONE women's strawweight kickboxing world title.
What Jackie Buntan does on her free time as ONE world champion: "I've been able to have a good balance"
Jackie Buntan is not the outgoing type. She lives in the gym, but whenever she's not training, Buntan loves to spend time with family and her loved ones.
Speaking to DeWar Report, Buntan said:
"You know, training takes up so much of your life, but I do have, for a long time, I've been able to have a good balance of athlete life and my life outside of that. But, yeah, I tend to be a homebody. I'm here at home with my boyfriend, and my dog. I live close to the beach, so we're biking at the beach, doing walks at the beach, and going to the beach. I'm a big foodie, going out to eat at different restaurants with my friends."
