Phetjeeja Injured, Withdraws From The Inner Circle 28 ONE Women’s Atomweight Kickboxing World Title Defense
A hand injury has derailed the Thai's August 28 bout in Bangkok.
Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom, the reigning ONE Women’s Atomweight Kickboxing World Champion known as "The Queen," has been compelled to withdraw from her scheduled title defense at The Inner Circle 28. The clash was set to feature her against Greek striker Antonia Prifti on Friday, August 28 at Bangkok’s renowned Lumpinee Stadium, which will be streamed live on live.onefc.com.
Regrettably, a hand injury sustained during training camp has forced the Thai fighter to bow out of the contest, resulting in the removal of the title fight from The Inner Circle 28 event. Phetjeeja, with a remarkable 210-6 career record and 8-1 promotional record, was poised to make her second defense of the ONE Women’s Atomweight Kickboxing World Title.
Her return to the kickboxing division after a strenuous attempt to achieve success in two sports against ONE Women’s Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion Allycia Hellen Rodrigues made her participation in this matchup even more significant. Prifti, a 24-year-old Greek sensation boasting a 25-3 career record and prior K-1 Women’s Flyweight Championship accolades, will now have to await her opportunity to challenge for the title she has pursued, alongside her promotional debut.
