Jackie Buntan says execution of her fight plan is crucial in her upcoming championship clash with Anissa Meksen
The Boxing Works representative is now ready for her second crack at the coveted 26-pound golden belt, as she faces Anissa Meksen on Nov. 8 at ONE 169 to crown the inaugural ONE women's strawweight kickboxing world champion.
Before their exciting match at the packed Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, she had an interview with Violent Money TV, where she talked about executing her fight plan perfectly to have the best chance of securing the victory, as she stated:
"I think the challenge is just being able to execute what I have been working on for the past two months and execute it on fight night. The experience, obviously I'm not going in there naive. She [Anissa Meksen] is a force to be reckoned with, but as long as I'm able to stay calm and present and execute what I need to do, then I'll be good."
