Anissa Meksen and Jackie Buntan are set to compete for the inaugural ONE women's strawweight kickboxing world title at ONE 169 in Lumpinee Stadium, Bangkok, on November 8. Originally scheduled for July, the fight was postponed due to Buntan's injury. Meksen, a renowned striker with a decorated history in multiple kickboxing promotions, will move up in weight for this championship bout, having previously failed to secure ONE gold against Phetjeeja. Jackie Buntan, on a three-fight win streak, has also previously competed for an inaugural title, losing a Muay Thai bout to Smilla Sundell. The event will feature a diverse card with other title fights, including Anatoly Malykhin vs. Reug Reug and Rodtang Jitmuangnon vs. Jacob Smith. This matchup is highly anticipated due to both fighters' impressive records and potential for a thrilling contest.
