Background

Todd was born in Hermosa Beach, California. Although born in the United States, her first spoken language was Japanese, taught by her mother. In her youth, Todd trained and competed in gymnastics, but later gave up the pursuit due to wanting a balance with her personal life.[citation needed]

After beginning kickboxing classes, Todd's then boyfriend, now husband, introduced her to a Muay Thai gym.[2]

Muay Thai career

Todd first competed as an amateur in 2009. She won the bout by TKO but did not return to competition until 2013.[citation needed]

In 2017, Todd captured the bronze medal at the IFMA World Championships and World Games, subsequently winning an IFMA Pan-American Championship. She later won gold at the 2017 IFMA Pan American Championships at 51 kg.[citation needed]

On February 22, 2019, Todd joined ONE Championship to compete for the ONE Atomweight Muay Thai world title against Stamp Fairtex. She lost by unanimous decision.[3]

She returned to ONE Championship on May 10, 2019, under kickboxing rules, defeating Wang Chin Long by TKO in the second round.[4]

On July 12, 2019, in another kickboxing match, Todd defeated Chuang Kai Ting by majority decision at ONE Championship: Masters of Destiny.[5]

On October 13, 2019, fighting under Muay Thai rules, she defeated Ekaterina Vandaryeva by second-round knockout at ONE Championship: Century.[6]
