Janet Todd has tested positive for Covid-19, the Post has learned, with Saturday’s ONE Championship atomweight Muay Thai title unification fight against Allycia Rodrigues in Manila scratched.
The bout was set to feature as the co-main event of the ONE on Prime Video 5 event at the Mall of Asia Arena. But interim champion Todd will now be unable to compete.
A source told the Post 36-year-old American Todd has no symptoms, and is feeling fine, but she has been taken off Wednesday’s press conference at the Solaire Casino and Hotel Resort.
“I feel great. I feel energised, I feel ready to go,” Todd had said at Tuesday’s media day.
“This is my first time in Manila so I’m really excited. I’m excited to put on a show from the Filipino fans. I don’t remember what it’s like to have a crowd, but I do remember when I come out I can feel the energy.”
“Allycia’s a very technical fighter. I’m ready to bring it, we’re brining the fireworks,” Todd added.
