Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom, known as “The Queen,” is preparing for a two-sport ONE World Title bout on June 19, 2024 [1].
The fight represents a significant milestone in the fighter's career as she attempts to expand her dominance across different disciplines. Achieving two-sport champion status would solidify her position as one of the most versatile athletes in the organization.
Lukjaoporongtom currently holds the title of ONE Atomweight Kickboxing World Champion [2]. Her ascent to the top of the sport was fueled by a rigorous early training regimen where she frequently fought boys to hone her skills [1]. This unconventional background provided a foundation of toughness and technical proficiency that propelled her through the ranks of professional combat sports.
“I kept winning,” Lukjaoporongtom said [2].
The upcoming title bout is scheduled to take place at The Inner Circle in Bangkok, Thailand [1]. The event marks a homecoming of sorts for the fighter, showcasing her skills in a region where kickboxing and Muay Thai maintain deep cultural roots. Her trajectory from youth bouts to a world championship highlights a disciplined approach to combat sports.
The athlete's preparation for the June 19, 2024 [1] event focuses on the transition between the specific requirements of kickboxing and the demands of the second discipline involved in the two-sport challenge. This transition requires a balance of striking precision, and the endurance necessary to maintain a high pace throughout the fight.
““I kept winning.””
The pursuit of a two-sport world title by Lukjaoporongtom reflects a growing trend in combat sports where elite athletes seek cross-disciplinary legitimacy. By challenging for a second title, she is not only testing her physical limits but also increasing her marketability and legacy within the ONE Championship framework.
