It seems Phetjeeja ‘The Queen’ Lukjaoporongtom has missed her time in ‘The Art Of Eight Limbs’ after spending more than two years developing her kickboxing skills.

She told Nick Atkin in a recent interview:

“Yeah, I’ve [temporarily] stopped fighting Muay Thai for two years, been fighting kickboxing, and now, I think it’s very good that I started Muay Thai again. It has elbows, it has knees, it has clinch. Everything. I like it.”

After winning her first Muay Thai fight in years, Phetjeeja is now shifting her focus to capturing the sport’s gold and is looking for a showdown with Allycia Hellen Rodrigues next for the atomweight belt.
