“I still want one” - Atomweight MMA queen Stamp says kickboxing and Muay Thai gold remains on her radar

ONE atomweight MMA queen Stamp Fairtex still has her sights on winning gold in both kickboxing and Muay Thai. The three-sport superstar was originally scheduled to defend her atomweight MMA title at ONE 167, but an injury forced her to bow out of the bout in favor of surgery.

As she continues her recovery, Stamp is already looking toward the future and what she hopes to accomplish once given the go-ahead to return.

Speaking with Nick Atkin backstage at ONE Fight Nigh 25, Stamp made it clear that in addition to defending her MMA belt, she wants to reclaim gold in kickboxing and the art of eight limbs.

She said:

"Yes, I still want one. But I want to do everything to be good first then come back for that."

Of course, Stamp is already ONE Championship's first-ever three-sport world champion, having captured the atomweight kickboxing and Muay Thai titles in her first two appearances with the promotion.

Stamp offers update on her recovery

Weeks away from her first atomweight MMA defense against Denice Zamboanga in Bangkok, Stamp suffered a torn meniscus to her left knee. She immediately underwent surgery to repair the damage and has been making steady progress since then.

Offering some insight into where she's currently at with her recovery, the Thai fan-favorite said:

"Now I can walk, I can jump a little bit, jogging, and in a few months, maybe I can do boxing, something like that."

The injury also forced Stamp out of a scrap with reigning ONE strawweight MMA world champion Xiong Jing Nan at ONE 168: Denver—a fight that could have made her a two-division champion. As it stands, she is on track for a return in 2025 where both Zamboanga and Xiong will likely be waiting for her.
