He’s a superhero in Thailand, but I’m going to crash this party and take the title here on his home soil.”

“Get ready for the biggest upset of the year. I’m heading into this fight fully expecting to walk away with the belt around my waist as the new champion.

I’m coming into hostile territory, but I’m packing the firepower. Let’s get ready to rumble.”

Everyone expected her to win and the odds were stacked against me. So when I won the bout, it was the most amazing achievement of my career. I have worked hard in training over the last couple of months. I know that in order to keep this belt, I have to continuously upgrade my skill set. There are a lot of tough opponents ahead and I will do everything in my power to keep the title.”
