Stamp Fairtex Returns To Muay Thai To Face Cynthia Flores At The Inner Circle

Stamp Fairtex will return to Muay Thai after six years. The former three-sport ONE World Champion meets Cynthia Flores. Their atomweight fight headlines The Inner Circle on 26 June. The event streams live on live.onefc.com for global fans.

The 28 year old Thai star owns a 64-18 record. Her ONE Championship mark stands at 14-5. She is the only athlete with ONE World Titles. Those titles came in Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA. This return revisits the discipline that first made her famous.

Stamp debuted for ONE Championship in 2019 in kickboxing. She won the ONE Women's Atomweight Kickboxing World Title there. In her next fight she claimed the atomweight Muay Thai belt. That win created ONE's first two sport female queen. She then defended gold while splitting focus.

Flores targets breakthrough against multi sport champion

Her opponent is 31 year old Mexican striker Cynthia Flores. She brings a 25-7 career record into this atomweight clash. Flores started her ONE Championship stint with two defeats. Beating Stamp would be her biggest upset yet. It would also highlight Mexico's push into elite atomweight Muay Thai.

From title loss to MMA success and injury layoff

Stamp's rise in Muay Thai slowed in 2020 in Bangkok. Brazilian striker Allycia Hellen Rodrigues outpointed her for the belt. After that result, Stamp turned fully toward mixed martial arts. The switch brought success as she later secured the ONE Atomweight MMA World Title.

A serious knee injury then cut short her MMA reign. She had to vacate the championship and leave competition. The layoff came during what many saw as her prime. Now cleared, she returns to Muay Thai. Observers will watch for ring rust and changes in her attacking rhythm.

The matchup at The Inner Circle carries clear stakes for both. Key details for the atomweight clash appear below. Fans can watch the card on 26 June through live.onefc.com worldwide.
