Former three-sport ONE World Champion Stamp Fairtex opened up about her highly anticipated return to competition following a 26-month absence due to a torn meniscus at ONE 173 in November 2025.
Thai superstar Stamp Fairtex discussed the mental and physical challenges of competing against Japan’s Kana Morimoto in a kickboxing clash that ended in unanimous decision defeat, her first action since September 2023.
Stamp Fairtex revealed feeling nervous and rusty during the bout while expressing satisfaction that her surgically repaired knee held up throughout the contest. Despite the loss, the Thai veteran expressed pride in returning to the ring while achieving personal goals beyond competition.
