Stamp followed up on her victory over Supergirl with two more wins, including a TKO win over South Korean Ham Seo Hee in September last year to claim the vacant ONE atomweight MMA world title.
She was out to win her fifth straight match but saw it fall through after she tore her left meniscus in training that kept her out from her scheduled first title defense against Denice Zamboanga in June, as well as a marquee showdown with fellow ONE champion Xiong Jing Nan in September in the United States.
Stamp is currently in the process of rehabbing her injured knee and is looking to return to action early next year.

Stamp became the atomweight MMA world champion in September last year, making her the only three-sport world champion in ONE Championship as she previously held both the atomweight kickboxing and Muay Thai world titles.
