Stamp Fairtex has hinted she is not interested in fighting Anissa Meksen for the ONE Championship interim atomweight kickboxing title.

The 34-year-old French-Algerian Meksen was set to fight Stamp in a mixed rules bout at Saturday’s ONE Fight Night 6 card in Bangkok, Thailand, but no-showed Thursday’s official weigh-ins and hydration tests.

Former ONE atomweight kickboxing and Muay Thai champ Stamp was then set to drop off the card, with striking superstar Meksen leaving Bangkok for her training base in Phuket.

But 25-year-old Stamp instead accepted a strawweight kickboxing fight with Anna “Supergirl” Jaroonsak, whose opponent Ekaterina Vandaryeva missed weight.

“I am not really looking forward to fighting Anissa,” Stamp told the Post after taking a split decision win on Saturday morning.
