Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom is out of her next ONE atomweight kickboxing title defense.
ONE announced Tuesday that the reigning atomweight kickboxing champion has withdrawn from her scheduled defense against Antonia Prifti because of a hand injury suffered during training camp. The fight was set for The Inner Circle 28 on Friday, August 28, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The promotion removed the title fight from the card, leaving Prifti waiting for the championship opportunity that was supposed to double as her promotional debut.

Title Defense Comes Off Bangkok Card
The withdrawal pauses a matchup between two experienced strikers at very different points in their ONE runs. Phetjeeja entered the booking with a 210-6 overall striking record and an 8-1 promotional mark, while Prifti came in at 25-3 with former K-1 flyweight title credentials.
Phetjeeja, 24, was trying to defend the ONE Women’s Atomweight Kickboxing World Title for the second time. Her most recent outing was a failed bid for two-sport gold against atomweight Muay Thai champion Allycia Hellen Rodrigues, and the Prifti bout would have brought her back fully into the kickboxing lane.
Prifti now loses the chance to debut with an immediate title fight. The Greek challenger had been lined up for a high-profile Bangkok entry point after ONE confirmed the matchup earlier this month.
The change lands during a busy stretch for ONE striking coverage, with recent results and booking movement across ONE Championship coverage, kickboxing news, and Muay Thai coverage.
ONE has not announced a replacement title fight or a new date for Phetjeeja’s return. Until the champion is cleared, the atomweight kickboxing belt stays on hold and Prifti’s first walk to the ONE stage waits for a new target.
