Stamp Fairtex is currently riding high over his last victory against Jihin Radzuan at ONE on Prime Video 2 in September this year. And now, she is seated atop the women’s atomweight rankings.
Fairtex started off her career with Muay Thai and now, looks to go back to her roots in the following year. That is correct. The 25-year-old revealed her big plans for 2023, which includes competing in Muay Thai, which is something she feels she owes to her fans. Plus, she is still not over her loss against the “Unstoppable” Angela Lee. In her tenure with ONE Championship, not many have been able to handle the wrath of Fairtex, but Lee proved to be quite a handful for her. And with the new year, she feels compelled to clear the dues off.
