Fans react to Denice Zamboanga’s callout of "close friend" Stamp Fairtex

At ONE on Prime Video 5, Denice Zamboanga picked up a big win in her career and is now targeting a fight with Stamp Fairtex. Opening up the main card of the huge event, the Filipino fighter won a split decision against Lin Heqin to set herself up for a huge fight at atomweight.

After losing back-to-back fights to Ham Seo Hee, Zamboanga needed a win on December 2 if she was going to keep her place as one of the best atomweights in the division.

After pulling off the closely contested win, Denice Zamboanga looked up the rankings at the two fighters above her in the division, calling for a fight against a woman she knows well to catapult her into a fight with Angela Lee.

In her post-fight interview, she spoke about facing her close friend Stamp Fairtex next time she steps into the circle:

“Denice Zamboanga has it all planned out 👸 Will Stamp Fairtex accept her challenge? @denicezamboanga”

Here’s what the fans had to say about the callout in the comments:

“Beat Seo Hee Ham first before you call out Stamp lol”
