ONE Championship: Jihin Radzuan responds to Stamp Fairtex rematch talk, ‘very impressed’ by title win
- Radzuan lost to Stamp in 2022, but she helped the Thai star prepare for her recent atomweight MMA title win over Ham Seo-hee
- Malaysian beat Jenelyn Olsim by decision the day before Stamp’s win, and may soon be in position for rematch with new training partner
Jihin Radzuan was very impressed by Stamp Fairtex’s latest ONE Championship title win – but insists she it not thinking about a rematch yet.
Thailand’s Stamp (11-2), who previously held ONE’s atomweight kickboxing and Muay Thai titles, became the promotion’s undisputed atomweight MMA champion with a TKO victory over South Korean veteran Ham Seo-hee at ONE Fight Night 14 late last month in Singapore.
Malaysia’s Radzuan (9-3) lost a decision to the new champion almost a year earlier to the day, but was called upon to serve as one of the Thai’s chief training partners ahead of the title fight, and was glad to see their efforts in the gym pay off.
“I was expecting this fight is going to be brutal,” Radzuan, 25, told the Post this week from Pattaya, where she has been working with Stamp at Fairtex Training Centre. “[I expected] some striking exchanges and some takedown defence and everything.
“Stamp did very impressive work.”
Radzuan has been doing her best Ham impressions at Fairtex since June.
If Stamp’s performance against the South Korean was any indication, inviting Radzuan to the gym was a good decision.
