In Photos: Phetjeeja Displays Striking Brilliance At Open Workout Ahead Of The Inner Circle 19
Reigning ONE Women’s 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.
There, she showcased her elite striking prowess and spoke to the media ahead of the biggest fight of her career.
The 24-year-old star will challenge reigning ONE Women’s Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion Allycia Hellen Rodrigues for two-sport glory in the main event of The Inner Circle 19, which streams exclusively on live.onefc.com from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, this Friday, June 19.
A World Champion Forged From Childhood
Phetjeeja’s story is one of the most remarkable in modern Muay Thai history.
The Thai first laced up her gloves at the age of 7, and by the time she was 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 fans and critics alike that a generational talent had arrived.
Today, “The Queen” boasts a stunning 210-6 career record in the striking arts, and she has carried that same devastating experience into the world’s largest martial arts organization, where she remains unbeaten with an 8-0 promotional slate.
An Unstoppable Rise In ONE
Since her promotional debut in March 2023, Phetjeeja has been a force of nature. The Pattaya resident claimed four consecutive Muay Thai stoppage victories to announce herself on the global stage, and then she switched codes and immediately made history in a new sport.
In her first ONE kickboxing bout, she defeated the legendary Anissa “C18” Meksen to claim the ONE Interim Women’s Atomweight Kickboxing World Championship. She then unified the crown with a victory over American great Janet “JT” Todd, cementing her status as the undisputed queen of the division.
At ONE 172 in March 2025, she successfully defended her belt against Japanese veteran Kana “Krusher Queen” Morimoto. Then, she returned to her Muay Thai roots last December, where she stopped Poland’s Martyna Dominczak with a first-round TKO.
Now, with gold already around her waist, Phetjeeja has set her sights on two-sport glory.
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, who proudly represents Team Mehdi Zatout, 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 she is a true generational talent.
