ONE Championship has added two thrilling kickboxing showdowns to an already loaded ONE Fight Night 46 on Prime Video card.First, Japan’s kickboxing veteran and former K-1 Champion Kana “Krusher Queen” returns to action against Hong Kong’s Yu Yau Pui in an atomweight kickboxing clash. In another contest, Russian destroyer Elbrus “The Samurai” Osmanov squares off against Brazil’s Denis “Denizinho” Souza Jr. in a bantamweight kickboxing showdown.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThese bouts stream live in U.S. primetime on Friday, August 14, from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium.Kana, a Tokyo-based power-puncher from Team Aftermath, carries a 24-7 career striking record with 11 finishes and a reputation for changing her hairstyle before her fights.
