Smilla Sundell (born 12 November 2004) is a Swedish Muay Thai kickboxer .[3] [4] She is currently signed to ONE Championship , where she was the former ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World Champion .
On April 22, 2022, Sundell became the youngest person to ever win a world title in Muay Thai by defeating Jackie Buntan to win the inaugural ONE Women's Strawweight Championship at 17 years and 5 months.[5] [6] [7] As of April 2024, she is ranked as the number two female featherweight (57.153 kg) Muay Thai contender in the world by the WBC Muaythai .[8]
Early life
[ edit ]
Born in Sundbyberg , Sweden, Sundell started practicing karate at five years old for self-defense.[1] [9] She first tried her hand at Muay Thai at 10 or 11, while on vacation in Thailand.[9] Sundell and her family moved to Ko Samui when she was 12 years old due to her parents' careers.[10] She and her younger sister started practicing Muay Thai at a gym called Yodyut Muay Thai due to a lack of any other sports.[11] When Sundell was 15, her family moved back to Sweden.[10] But she stayed in Thailand to pursue Muay Thai.[11] Running out of opponents in Ko Samui and inspired by watching Stamp Fairtex , in October 2019 she moved to Pattaya and joined the Fairtex Gym , where she currently lives by herself.[9] [11]

In the second title defense, Sundell faced Natalia Diachkova on May 4, 2024, at ONE Fight Night 22 .[27] At the weigh-ins, Sundell came in at 126.5 lb (after coming in at 127.7 lb in for an unofficial check two and a half hours into the weigh-ins), 1.5 pounds over the strawweight limit for a title fight. As a result, Sundell was stripped of the title and only Diachkova was eligible to win it.[28] She won the fight via technical knockout in the second round.[29]
