The Japanese striking ace reflects on her impressive victory and reveals her ambitious plans for the future.

In a fierce showdown at ONE Fight Night 46, Kana "Krusher Queen" emerged triumphant, outpointing Hong Kong's Yu Yau Pui via unanimous decision in a thrilling atomweight kickboxing match held at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. The 34-year-old Japanese veteran, boasting an impressive 25-7 career record, entered the contest with a strategic approach centered around early aggression and relentless pressure.

The contest, broadcast live from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium, showcased an intense exchange of blows as both fighters demonstrated their unwavering commitment to the sport. Despite the difficulty of fully executing her game plan, Kana's high output and forward aggression proved decisive in the three hard-fought rounds. She reflected on the match, acknowledging her opponent's toughness and expressing her respect for Yu Yau Pui's abilities.

Kana's victory sets the stage for her upcoming pursuit of the ONE Women's Atomweight Kickboxing World Title, which she lost to "The Queen" Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom in a recent decision. To reclaim the title, Kana must first overcome two specific opponents: Vero and Antonia Prifti. She is determined to avenge her previous losses and firmly believes that Phetjeeja is the best kickboxer in the world.
