Two ONE Championship Events Coming This Week
Big Fights, Two Events And Three Exclusive Interviews for FIGHT SPORTS' Readers.
We’ve got a busy week of Kickboxing and Muay Thai coming up courtesy of ONE Championship. Fighters are getting ready for shows this Thursday and Friday.
Anissa Meksen will square off against Dangkongfa Banchamek in an Atomweight Muay Thai explosion. Meksen aka “The Striking Queen” is the owner of 18 world championship titles! Can she grab the ONE Championship Kickboxing and Muay Thai titles as well, and make it 20 titles in total?
It’s not easy but it’s not impossible – but first she has to go through the training partner of Buakaw Banchamek, Dangkongfah!
Tawanchai faces current ONE Championship Featherweight world champion Petchmorakot, and has publicly stated:
He’s Never Faced Anyone Like Me!
🥊 ONEフェザー級ムエタイ世界タイトルマッチ 🥊
3度の世界王座防衛に成功しているペットモラコットと、"タイの神童"タワンチャイが激突💥

But Petchmorakot is not just another great Muay Thai fighter – he is the reigning champion and a ruthless one. He’s won 165 Muay Thai fights and has beaten elite strikers like Jimmy Vienot, Yodsanklai Fairtex, Liam Harrison to name just a few and he is coming well prepared, straight out of the Petchyindee Academy with a long list of hardcore training partners.
Combos FOR DAYS 😤

The Heavyweight Kickboxers are also out in full force this week. “The Ukrainian Hero” Roman Kryklia is the reigning ONE Championship Light Heavyweight world champion. He goes up against former Glory Kickboxing, UFC and Strikeforce fighter Guto Inocente who used to train at the now defunct Blackzilians team and who was initially inspired by the likes of Peter Aerts, Ernesto Hoost and Mirko Cro Cop.
