“She leaves certain parts of herself exposed” - Janet Todd on Phetjeeja’s biggest weakness

ONE atomweight kickboxing world champion Janet Todd recognizes that upcoming opponent Phetjeeja is one hell of a fighter. However, she sees gaps in the Thai’s game that she will look to capitalize on come fight night.

‘JT’ will battle the interim titleholder in the atomweight division in a unification bout at ONE Fight Night 20 on March 8 in Bangkok, Thailand.

It will serve as the headlining contest for the all-women’s card, happening at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium and airing live in U.S. primetime, free of charge for existing Prime Video subscribers in North America. It is also available on watch.onefc.com.

In an interview with ONE Championship, 38-year-old Todd shared she has studied Phetjeeja and has identified some of the kinks in her armor. She is out to exploit them when they mix it up.

The Body Works standout said:

“Her weakness, without giving away too much of my game plan, is with the way she throws her punches. She kind of puts her weight behind it and leaves certain parts of herself exposed.”

ONE Fight Night 20 will see Janet Todd return to action after last competing in March 2023. Then, she tried to become a two-sport ONE world champion but lost by unanimous decision to atomweight Muay Thai queen Allycia Hellen Rodrigues.

Phetjeeja, for her part, won all of her five fights last year, the most recent over veteran Anissa Meksen by decision to claim the interim ONE atomweight kickboxing world title.
