As expected, Seo Hee Ham and Stamp Fairtex will face off later this year for a ONE Championship atomweight title — in this case, an interim belt.
Promotion officials announced recently that Ham (26-8) and Stamp (10-2) will face off at ONE Fight Night 14 on September 1, 2023.
The match-up had previously been revealed by ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong, who suggested that Angela Lee, the current undisputed ONE women’s atomweight champ, might be done fighting after the untimely death of sister Victoria. Sityodtong did not reveal the date/location of the bout at that time, however.

ONE Fight Night 14 will air on Amazon Prime Video in the U.S. and Canada. No location or venue has been officially announced for the September card.
Ham has not lost a fight since parting ways with the UFC in 2016. Since exiting that promotion and returning to the atomweight division, Ham has won nine straight fights, capturing the ROAD FC atomweight and RIZIN Super Atomweight championships in the process.
She’ll be hunting for a third title against Fairtex, who has held gold in ONE Championship in both kickboxing and Muay Thai, and continues to pursue a third belt in MMA. Most recently, she earned a Performance of the Night bonus after stopping Alyse Anderson with a body kick at ONE Fight Night 10 in Colorado, the promotion’s debut on U.S. soil.
