Former K-1 champion Kana Morimoto is gearing up for a showdown with former three-sport ONE world champion Stamp Fairtex in a women’s atomweight kickboxing bout at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri in Tokyo on November 16. In an exclusive interview with the South China Morning Post (SCMP), Morimoto revealed her aggressive game plan for the fight.
“This fight is a non-title fight, meaning three-round, three-minute fight. And since I lost my last match, I’m planning to be aggressive,” Morimoto said. Fighting on home soil against a fighter of Stamp’s caliber presents a perfect opportunity for Morimoto to showcase her aggressive style in front of a passionate Japanese crowd.
Stamp Fairtex boasts world championship pedigree and a well-rounded skillset that helped her become a three-division world champion. However, Morimoto’s determination to bring out a more aggressive style might just be the key to countering Stamp’s technical brilliance. With her ability to push the pace from the get-go, Morimoto could overwhelm Stamp early in the fight and potentially secure a finish before Stamp settles into her rhythm.
The upcoming atomweight kickboxing bout between Morimoto and Stamp is highly anticipated, with fans eager to see who will emerge victorious.
