Janet Todd is one of the most impressive fighters on the ONE Championship roster. The current ONE Championship women’s atomweight kickboxing champion will fight Lara Fernandez for the interim ONE Atomweight Muay Thai title. The division has also seen the inclusion of French fighter Anissa Meksen. Ahead of her fight, Todd laid out her thoughts on the inclusion of Meksen, and also clarified the rumors of ducking her.

In an interview, Todd said, “I do think Anissa is one of the top-level fighters and I do believe that she brings up the level of competition in the division, which is exactly what we want. Because that will raise the whole level competition of the whole, you know, the whole weight group and it only makes us better. So, I think she’s a good addition to the ONE roster.”

Further addressing the rumors of ducking Meksen, Todd said, “I mean, I can’t control what other people say or what other people think. I can only control what I do and my own actions and my own thoughts. So, I mean that’s that.”

When asked if that meant would she fight Meksen, ‘JT’ replied, “Yes, yes, of course, of course. Like I said, I think she brings up the level of competition. That’s what we want for ONE Championship. We want to fight the best, be the best.”
