Smilla Sundell won the title in 2022

In April last year, Sundell made history as the the youngest person to ever win a ONE world title in Muay Thai as she defeated Jackie Buntan to win the inaugural ONE women’s strawweight championship.

The Swedish striker was 17 years and 5 months at the time.

“It feels great. I’m so happy right now. It’s my biggest dream coming true,” Sundell said post-fight.

The impressive performance also earned her a $50,000 performance bonus from ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong.

Sundell signed with ONE Championship in 2021. In her promotional debut on 25 February 2022, she stopped Australia’s Diandra Martin with a third-round TKO.
