Three-time World champion and current UK Super-Flyweight #1 Leonie Hardman is set to make her RWS Muay Thai debut on January 24, 2026.
It’s been quite the year for the Majestic Gym fighter. After returning to Muay Thai twelve months ago, Leonie has captured the ISKA Muay Thai World title and the WMO Muay Thai World title at two weights.
Not only that, but she became the first UK Muay Thai fighter to be ranked #1 in three different weight categories. Early in 2025, she was ranked #1 at 55kg by Thai Fighter UK.
After the UK Muay Thai Rankings takeover, a new Women’s Bantamweight (118lbs / 53.5kg) division was introduced, where Leonie Hardman was made the #1 in that division. Then in September, she defeated former UK Super-Flyweight #1 Rhona Walker, winning the WMO Muay Thai World title and claiming the #1 in that division.
