Phetjeeja To Defend ONE Atomweight Kickboxing World Title Against Antonia Prifti At The Inner Circle 28
Reigning ONE Women’s Atomweight Kickboxing World Champion “The Queen” Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom returns to defend her crown against Greek destroyer Antonia Prifti in a blockbuster ONE World Title clash at The Inner Circle 28.
Two of the world’s best female strikers will collide on Friday, August 28, from the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, live for members only via live.onefc.com.
Phetjeeja’s reign as ONE Women’s Atomweight Kickboxing World Champion has been built on a foundation of sheer dominance. The 24-year-old Team Mehdi Zatout product owns a staggering 210-6 career record with 69 finishes and an 8-1 promotional tally.
She arrived in ONE and immediately made her presence felt, running up four consecutive TKO victories in Muay Thai matchups that earned her the coveted six-figure main roster contract in the process.
She then stepped up to claim the ONE Interim Women’s Atomweight Kickboxing World Championship with a solid victory over legendary Anissa “C18” Meksen in December 2023, before unifying the gold against Janet “JT” Todd to become the undisputed atomweight kickboxing queen.
Phetjeeja defended her crown against Japanese veteran Kana “Krusher Queen” before returning to her Muay Thai roots, where she challenged Allycia Hellen Rodrigues for the ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Title in a bid for two-sport glory. Despite a hard-fought effort, she came up short in that pursuit.
Now she returns to the kickboxing division where she has been untouchable, targeting her second title defense and the momentum that comes with it as she looks toward a future rematch with Rodrigues.
The challenger waiting for her on August 28 is arguably the most dangerous opponent she has faced in her kickboxing title reign. Prifti is a 24-year-old Greek striker with an astonishing 25-3 career record adorned with titles collected from across the globe, including the K-1 Women’s Flyweight Championship she claimed by defeating the same Kana that Phetjeeja defended her belt against.
She also holds a victory over fellow ONE striker Tessa De Kom, and her growing collection of accolades paints the picture of a young champion whose level is rising at exactly the right moment.
August 28 represents her ONE Championship debut, and if Prifti can do what no other woman has managed in the kickboxing realm, she walks away from Lumpinee Stadium not just as a victorious ONE debutant, but as the new atomweight kickboxing queen.
The stakes on both sides of this ONE World Title clash are as clear as they are compelling. For Phetjeeja, victory means a 211th career win, a statement of continued dominance in the division she has ruled, and renewed momentum toward unfinished business with Rodrigues.
For Prifti, it means becoming the first striker to defeat Phetjeeja in a kickboxing contest and claiming the richest prize in women’s striking sport on the grandest possible stage.
