ONE women’s atomweight kickboxing world champion ‘The Queen’ Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom is focused on her Muay Thai return against Martyna Dominczak at ONE Fight Night 38: Andrade vs. Baatarkhuu on Prime Video this weekend.
But she has not and will never abandon her atomweight kickboxing gold.
One woman who has made her case for another big fight with the Thai icon is none other than ‘Krusher Queen’ Kana Morimoto.
Kana is coming off a big victory over former three-sport queen Stamp Fairtex at ONE 173 last month, and many fans believe the Japanese star has earned a rematch with Phetjeeja based on her performance.

Phetjeeja reacted to this in an interview with Bangkok Post’s Nick Atkin:
"I could see that she really wants the kickboxing belt and yeah. So after that fight, I definitely suspect there could be another rematch between me and Kana. And I think one day I will have to fight Kana again for sure. I feel that she was very sad that she couldn't get the kickboxing belt that day.”
Phetjeeja continued:
“So I’m happy to rematch with Kana any day, but I have to tell her: although she has improved — and I secretly root for her every fight — I have to say it will not be easy. I will be a more difficult task for her one day if we rematch.”
