The strawweight kickboxing title fight between Jackie Buntan and Anissa Meksen has been rescheduled for ONE 169.
The two will face off for the newly minted belt at Lumpinee Stadium on November 9.
The fight had originally been scheduled for ONE Fight Night 23 on July 6 but Buntan pulled out after suffering an unspecified injury in training.
Meksen will be moving up in weight to challenge for the title.
Buntan, who is coming off a three-fight winning streak, has spent her entire ONE Championship career competing in the strawweight division.

Meksen, meanwhile, has been competing at atomweight and has not won a fight since 2022.
She was involved in a protracted contract dispute last year that meant she did not fight until December and returned to the ring to challenge Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom for the atomweight kickboxing belt, where she was beaten for the first time since 2019.
Also added to the card was a featherweight Muay Thai fight between American Eddie Abasolo and Algeria’s Younes Rabah.
The event had originally been set to take place in Atlanta but was moved to Bangkok last week.
ONE 169 will also see the featherweight Muay Thai title match between Tawanchai PKSaenchaigym and Jo Nattawut removed after the latter’s recent knockout loss and the event will be headlined by a heavyweight title fight between reigning champion Anatoly Malykhin and challenger Oumar Kane, better known as Reug Reug.
Two more belts will be up for grabs at Lumpinee Stadium next month, with local favourite Rodtang Jitmuangnon putting his flyweight Muay Thai title on the line against Jacob Smith in a rematch.
Meanwhile, lightweight MMA champion Christian Lee returns from an extended absence to take on undefeated challenger Alibeg Rasulov.
