Kierczynska, who has won gold medals at numerous Muay Thai tournaments including the WMC Pro World Championships, the World Combat Games and the European Games, will be making her ONE Championship debut.

This will be Jaroonsak’s first time competing in Muay Thai since 2021, and she is coming off back-to-back losses in a modified-rules boxing match and an MMA bout.
