Janet Todd excited to return to day job as aerospace engineer after her next fight

'JT' Janet Todd will look to add ONE gold to her name against Allycia Hellen Rodrigues before returning to her normal day job. 'JT' is an American striker who competes in both kickboxing and Muay Thai, but also works as an aerospace engineer.

On March 24 at ONE Fight Night 8 on Prime Video, Todd will look to unify the ONE atomweight Muay Thai World Championship with the reigning queen Allycia Hellen Rodrigues. This would make 'JT' a two-sport world champion as she also holds the ONE atomweight kickboxing world title. ONE Fight Night events are broadcast live and for free in North America via Prime Video.

Win or lose after the match, Janet Todd will return to her normal desk job. While speaking in an interview with SCMP MMA, she explained:

"Maybe not that one because I’d have to focus on work after I get back. When I fight, I focus on the fight, and then I have to prioritize work for a little bit."

'JT' also outlined her plans for the rest of 2023. She wants to see her training partner Jackie Buntan compete on May 5 at ONE Fight Night 10 and that's about it. Todd explained her 2023 plans:

"Just engineering. But I would love to go see Jackie [Buntan] in Colorado and I would also like to fight for the American fans, obviously."
