With an overall record of 10-2 in her mixed martial arts career, Zamboanga earned the honor of challenging the Thai fan-favorite with back-to-back victories against Lin Heqin at ONE on Prime Video 5 followed by a unanimous decision over Julie Mezabarba last April.

It will be Zamboanga's first time challenging for the atomweight belt since making her promotional debut in 2019.

As for Stamp Fairtex, the three-sport queen is an impressive 11-2 in MMA competition, with notable wins against Jihin Radzuan, Alyse Anderson and the aforementioned Ham Seo Hee in her last three outings.

Outside of mixed martial arts, she has bested Janet Todd and Anna 'Supergirl' Jaroonsak, proving that whether it's in four or eight-ounce gloves, she can go toe-to-toe with anyone under the ONE Championship banner.
