ONE Championship: Wondergirl Fairtex wants to be Muay Thai champ like ‘idol’ Stamp
- Thai phenom is back in action at this weekend’s ONE: A New Breed after stunning Super Series debut
- ‘I’m ready to fight again,’ says the fearless 21-year-old, who also hopes to emulate training partner Stamp by moving into MMA
It only took Wondergirl Fairtex 81 seconds to put the ONE Championship Super Series roster on notice.
But the way she pummelled Australian Brooke Farrell with punches at ONE: No Surrender III at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, you would not have imagined the anxiety she was feeling leading up to her promotional debut.
“I get nervous every time I fight. I didn’t fight [for] like a year and this was my first fight in ONE Championship so I was so nervous and excited,” the 21-year-old Thai told SCMP MMA. “It was the golden time. I got a chance to knock her out, I took it. But I didn’t expect that, to do the KO, first round. It was pretty cool. It was awesome.”
So impressive was her debut, Wondergirl is back in action for this weekend’s ONE: A New Breed card in the Thailand capital. She faces KC Carlos of the Philippines in a strawweight Muay Thai contest.
“I’m ready to fight [again] because the last fight I didn’t get injured at all, nothing,” she said.
