Growing up, <\/span>Stamp Fairtex<\/span> was constantly pestered by bullies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stamp described herself as a \u201ctiny\u201d child. Growing up in Rayong, Thailand. Her size made her an easy target for her classmates. This pushed the now two-sport champ to find solace in Muay Thai and ultimately paved her way to <\/span>ONE Championship<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was in kindergarten, I was tiny,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe girls in school kept bullying me, and I could not stop them. I was scared because they were bigger than I was. That is why I started Muay Thai.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Back at that time, Stamp was training in her family\u2019s gym, she experienced a similar environment. Being a woman at that time in the sport, Stamp encountered people who discouraged her to continue with her training.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI decided to train Muay Thai with my brother and father,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was young, I was the only female athlete in my village\u2019s Muay Thai gym. Back then, people were not open to girls competing. They were afraid we might get hurt badly because they thought women were physically weaker than men.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But Stamp had a lot of support and acceptance from her family.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy parents supported my Muay Thai dreams and encouraged me,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNow, I really cannot live without it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

From the start of her career after a year of training, it was obvious that Stamp was destined for greatness. She currently holds two World Titles in ONE Championship and now, she is focused on claiming a third crown in mixed martial arts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since her debut, the 22-year-old has emerged victorious in all three of her mixed martial arts bouts, just recently defeating <\/span>Bi Nguyen<\/span><\/a> at <\/span>ONE: Masters of Fate<\/span>\u00a0unanimous decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no doubting Stamp\u2019s talent. She dedicates her success and victories to her family who has stood by her side from the very beginning of her career.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMost women repay their parents by being good students, and then getting a good job so they can take care of them,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEven though I have a different career, I repay them by making them proud, by becoming a World Champion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On 10 January, at <\/span>ONE: A New Tomorrow<\/span><\/a>, the reigning ONE Atomweight Muay Thai and Kickboxing champ Stamp Fairtex will square off with India\u2019s <\/span>Puja Tomar<\/span> at the IMPACT Arena in Bangkok, Thailand. ONE: A New Tomorrow also features <\/span>Rodtang Jitmuangnon<\/span><\/a> defending his ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title against <\/span>Jonathan Haggerty<\/span><\/a> in a rematch.<\/span><\/p>\n
