ONE Championship is on a fight announcement spree, revealing several major bouts for its upcoming events. Most recently, the promotion unveiled another big title fight that will headline ONE Fight Night 35.

Reigning ONE Women's Strawweight kickboxing World Champion Jackie Buntan returns to action in pursuit of two-sport success as she takes on dangerous Austrian striker Stella Hemetsberger for the vacant ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World Title.

The event is set to take place inside the prestigious Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on 6 September. A native of California, Buntan has been nothing short of extraordinary since her arrival in 2021.

The 27-year-old made her debut against the Thai fan favourite Nat "Wondergirl" Jaroonsak. Many fans and pundits expected "Wondergirl" to win, but Buntan showcased the power of her striking and came out on top.

That debut victory marked the start of something special, as Buntan dominated her next two opponents. However, she suffered a loss against young phenom Smilla Sundell in an inaugural ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World Championship bout.

The loss in the title match ignited a fire within, and she secured three consecutive victories over Amber Kitchen, Diandra Martin, and Martine Michieletto. In her recent bout, she earned a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to face the legendary striker Anissa Meksen for the inaugural ONE Women's Strawweight Kickboxing World Title.

The Boxing Works standout proved too much for the striking veteran in her first promotional kickboxing contest, capturing the title by unanimous decision. Now, she can become a two-sport World Champion - a rare feat achieved by only a handful of female athletes.

It will, however, be easier said than done, as Hemetsberger is as tough as they come. At 26 years old, the Austrian remains undefeated in her three promotional outings, including a knockout victory in her most recent match. This fight promises fireworks from start to finish.
