“Makes it hard for me to predict her movement” - Phetjeeja reveals the most underrated aspect of Kana’s game

Reigning and undisputed ONE women's atomweight kickboxing world champion 'The Queen' Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom of Thailand knows she will be in for a fight when she takes on upcoming opponent, Japanese kickboxing veteran 'Krusher Queen' Kana Morimoto.

The 23-year-old Team Mehdi Zatout standout says Kana is a legitimate threat to her reign and she will not be taking the Japanese fighter lightly when the two meet in the world's largest martial arts organization later this month.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Phetjeeja talked about Kana's distinct fighting style and what makes the Japanese athlete such a difficult matchup.

'The Queen' said:

"She can fight with both southpaw or orthodox style. Her switching between stances makes it hard for me to predict her movement."

If anyone can pull it off, Phetjeeja sure can. The 23-year-old Thai star has made a habit of beating the biggest and best names, and Kana is just another blip on the radar.
