Phetjeeja turned her interim title into undisputed gold at ONE Fight Night 20, scoring a decisive decision victory over Janet Todd to claim the ONE atomweight kickboxing world championship.
The Thai sensation found her footing early in the opening round, moving forward and finding a home for her signature right hand, but ‘JT’ certainly had her moments in what was a very close first three minutes between the two world titleholders.
Coming out for the second round, Phetjeeja looked to pick up the pace, putting pressure on Todd and looking to set up her right hand with the left low kick. Todd continued to hold her ground and fire back, but ‘The Queen’ appeared to have the advantage in volume. That trend continued throughout the third round, with Phetjeeja walking down her opponent.
After a fast and furious fourth round, both women came out knowing that the fifth round could ultimately decide who leaves with the unified atomweight kickboxing crown. With 40 seconds to go in the bout, Phetjeeja scored a knockdown, tagging ‘JT’ with a lightning right hand.
