Last time out
Janet Todd’s last bout was back in February 2020 when she defeated Stamp Fairtex to win the Atomweight Kickboxing World title. She returns to Muay Thai rules this Friday in her quest to become a ONE two-sport world champion.
Alma Juniku’s last bout in ONE Super Series came against tough Norwegian Anne Line Hogstad. The Australian lost a majority decision back in January 2020, her second straight loss in ONE Championship.
The match-up
The American possesses a powerful kickboxing style and has overwhelmed her past four opponents with her work-rate and aggression. This has led to two of her four bouts in ONE Super Series ending in stoppage victories.
The younger of the two, Alma Juniku, has the ability to match the speed and power of her opponent, however she admits she has learned from her last two bouts that she needs to push harder from the start.
