In Photos: Phetjeeja Displays Striking Brilliance At Open Workout Ahead Of The Inner Circle 19
Reigning ONE Atomweight Kickboxing World Champion “The Queen” Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom took part in an open workout at Venum Training Camp in Pattaya, Thailand, on Saturday, June 13, showcasing her striking and speaking to media ahead of the biggest fight of her career.
The 24-year-old Team Mehdi Zatout star will challenge reigning ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion Allycia Hellen Rodrigues for two-sport glory in the main event of The Inner Circle 19 on Friday, June 19, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, streaming exclusively on live.onefc.com.
A Champion Forged From Childhood
Phetjeeja’s story is one of the most remarkable in modern Muay Thai history.
She first laced up her gloves at the age of 7, and by 10 years old she had already accumulated more than 100 fights — the majority of them against boys. That fearless approach to competition earned her the nickname “The Girl Who Could Defeat Boys” and laid the foundation for a career that has only grown more extraordinary with time. At just 14, she claimed the WMC Muay Thai World Title, signaling to the world that a generational talent had arrived.
Today, the Thai superstar boasts a stunning 210-6 career striking record, and she has carried that same devastating experience into the world’s largest martial arts organization, where she remains unbeaten at 8-0.
An Unstoppable Rise In ONE
Since her ONE debut, Phetjeeja has been a force of nature. She claimed four consecutive Muay Thai finishes to announce herself on the global stage before switching codes and immediately making history in a new sport.
In her first ONE kickboxing outing, she defeated legendary striker Anissa “C18” Meksen to claim the ONE Interim Atomweight Kickboxing World Championship. She then unified the belt with a victory over American great Janet “JT” Todd, cementing her status as the undisputed queen of the division.
Last year at ONE 172, she successfully defended her crown against Japanese veteran Kana “Krusher Queen” before returning to her Muay Thai roots in December 2025, where she stopped Poland’s Martyna Dominczak with a first-round TKO.
Now, with gold already around her waist, Phetjeeja sets her sights on an even greater prize.
History Awaits At The Inner Circle 19
A victory over Rodrigues on June 19 would make Phetjeeja a two-sport ONE World Champion, writing the next chapter of a career that has defied expectations at every turn.
The Thai superstar has faced every challenge placed in front of her and has come out on top. At Lumpinee Stadium in front of a passionate home crowd, “The Queen” will look to prove once more that her reign is far from over.
