ONE Championship: Supergirl fight cancelled after hydration fail at ONE Fight Night 34 weigh-ins

'Supergirl' Anna Jaroonsak's long-awaited return to the ring in ONE Championship has been cancelled. Her atomweight Muay Thai bout against Bulgaria's Teodora Kirilova was officially scrapped on Friday morning, after Supergirl failed to pass hydration at the ONE Fight Night 34 weigh-ins the previous evening in Bangkok. The Thai star later confirmed she eventually passed hydration after the official three-hour testing window had closed – but Kirilova declined to accept a catchweight, leaving the fight off the card entirely. 'First of all, I want to sincerely apologise to my opponent, the event organisers, [ONE CEO] Chatri Sityodtong and all my fans,' Supergirl wrote on social media. 'I know many people were looking forward to this fight, and I'm truly sorry for the disappointment I've caused.' The 21-year-old made her contracted weight twice within a few hours, but she failed to provide a hydrated urine sample in time to pass under ONE's weigh-in protocols. Her third attempt, which came just as the clock struck zero, did not meet the minimum requirements of 10 millilitres, and she was not allowed to test. 'I followed the same weight-loss plan I've always used – nothing extreme, and everything was on track – but unfortunately, this time the result was different,' Supergirl added. 'I trained extremely hard for this fight and felt more than ready, both physically and mentally.' The bout was meant to mark Supergirl's first appearance since a first round TKO loss to Cristina Morales in November 2023, when she had complained of feeling sick and fatigued the morning of the fight. Since then, she had been balancing other work commitments, including film and modelling, while stepping away from active competition. 'Coming back into serious training after such a long break wasn't easy, but I gave it everything I had,' she added. 'I truly did everything I could to try and make the fight happen, including initiating direct negotiations with my opponent's team.' The ONE Fight Night 34 card has now been reduced to eight bouts, though the two other contests that appeared to be in jeopardy after Thursday's weigh-ins – involving Shamil Adukhov and Elbek Alyshov – will go ahead, officials confirmed to the Bangkok Post. Ellis Barboza agreed a catchweight with Russia's Adukhov for their Muay Thai opener, which was originally contracted at strawweight.
