Jackie Buntan and Anissa Meksen have a new date for the inaugural ONE Women’s Strawweight Kickboxing World Title. The two were initially slated for a summer showdown, but an undisclosed injury forced Buntan’s withdrawal. On Wednesday, ONE Championship announced the bout has been added to ONE 169 on Friday, November 8.
In 2022, Buntan got a shot at the inaugural ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Title but fell short against Smilla Sundell. Since that loss, the American has rebounded with three exciting victories. None were more impressive than her KO in ONE’s U.S. debut against Diandra Martin.
