The Team Mehdi Zatout affiliate told The Bangkok Post’s Nick Atkin in her pre-event interview:

“I don't have anyone on my hit list now, and I also can't see anyone coming forward, but I am ready to defend my title, and I would love to defend my titles as many times as possible because I would love to be active. So the more active I am, the better it is. So please join the kickboxing ranking.”

Phetjeeja says time away from Muay Thai won't matter

Phetjeeja has spent the last two years competing exclusively in Muay Thai.

While some believe this could be a problem, 'The Queen' insists it's a natural transition for her.

"I don't think there should be any problem because I am more familiar with Muay Thai. So for me, going from Muay Thai to kickboxing, that's harder,” Phetjeeja told Nick Atkin.

“But going from kickboxing to Muay Thai, I feel like I adapt easily and faster. So there shouldn't be any problem."

Watch Phetjeeja face Dominczak at ONE Fight Night 38 from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, streaming live in U.S. primetime on Dec. 5 on Prime Video for North American fans.
