Three-sport queen and former undisputed ONE women’s atomweight MMA world champion Stamp Fairtex of Thailand is thankful and relieved that the kickboxing belt — a title she once held — is in very good hands.
Right now, the gold belongs to none other than her fellow Thai ‘The Queen’ Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom, who has reigned atop the division with an iron fist.
Stamp, who previously held the atomweight kickboxing world title, says Phetjeeja is doing a great job as the champion, and she would not want to challenge her to get the belt back. Instead, the 27-year-old will take revenge if a foreigner manages to snatch it from ‘The Queen.’

Stamp told veteran MMA reporter Nick Atkin in a recent interview:
“You know, the good thing is that the belt is with Thailand, with the Thai people. Phetjeeja can keep the belt. If one day she loses the belt to a foreigner, I will help get it back. But right now, we're good.”
Needless to say, fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Stamp Fairtex to ONE Championship’s global stage, and they won’t have to wait very long to see the former three-sport ruler back in action.
