Stamp Fairtex is fully focused on her fighting career after previously considering other options in business. Stamp, a former multiple-time world champion across three sports in ONE Championship, didn't pursue a fighting career between the ages of twelve and eighteen.
During that time, the Thai megastar prioritized an education and considered starting her own business. The 27-year-old has since established her legacy in ONE and become a pioneer in the promotion's female divisions.
Stamp made an appearance on Demetrious Johnson's 'MIGHTYcast' to discuss various topics about her life and fighting career. She had this to say about prioritizing her combat sports ventures instead of opening a business:
"Before, I thought about the t-shirt (business). But now, I just want to focus on fighting, because it's the one opportunity I can do to make big money, to take care of my family."

Stamp Fairtex last fought in September 2023, defeating Ham Seo Hee by third-round knockout to capture the vacant ONE women's atomweight MMA world title.
The Thai megastar was then scheduled for two world title fights in 2024 before pulling out due to a torn meniscus in her left knee. Unfortunately, she recently suffered a setback in training that hasn't postponed her highly anticipated return.

Stamp Fairtex relinquishes ONE women's atomweight MMA world title due to injury setback
Stamp Fairtex was scheduled to headline ONE 173 in August to unify the women's atomweight MMA world titles against interim world title holder Denice Zamboanga.
Stamp's devastating injury setback forced her to withdraw from the matchup, leading to ONE Championship moving the Denver event to 2026.
Stamp agreed to relinquish the ONE women's atomweight MMA world title because of her setback, elevating Zamboanga from interim world champion to undisputed.
Zamboanga stayed active while Stamp was injured, defeating Noelle Grandjean and Alyona Rassohyna over the last year. The Filipino superstar's latest win against Rassohyna in January won her the previously mentioned interim world title.
Zamboanga could be poised for a world title defense against a different contender while her close friend and former training partner, Stamp Fairtex, fully recovers from her injury. The world-class female MMA fighters are expected to be matched up once Stamp is cleared to fight again.
