In the wake of Angela Lee’s uncertain future, ONE Championship plans to establish an interim atomweight champion. This title will be decided as Stamp Fairtex takes on Seo Hee Ham in the headline event at ONE Fight Night 14, slated for Friday, Sept. 1. The venue for this event is yet to be determined.
Amazon Prime Video will broadcast the card live, beginning at 8 p.m. ET. ONE Championship executives verified this information to MMA Hook on Wednesday.
Angela Lee, the current atomweight champion, may opt for retirement after the untimely demise of her younger sister, Victoria Lee, last December, as disclosed by ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong. Lee’s decision regarding her professional future remains unconfirmed. Thus, ONE is setting up an interim atomweight championship in her stead, allowing the 26-year-old fighter to mourn before deciding whether to return to the ring.
This fight will be Stamp’s second shot at the title, following a previous defeat to Lee in March 2022. Since that defeat, Stamp has secured two victories, including a spectacular body shot knockout over Alyse Anderson during ONE’s inaugural event in the United States in May.
Ham, a former UFC fighter, has recently put together an impressive winning streak, recording nine consecutive victories, three of which came after joining the ONE Championship. Ham aims to maintain this winning streak as she squares off against Stamp in September for the interim atomweight title.
The organizers will announce additional matches and the location of the card at a later date.
