“It’s Never a Boring Day” – Jihin Radzuan Shares Insight From the Training Camp With Stamp Fairtex

Malaysian atomweight mixed martial artist Jihin Radzuan took some time to visit Fairtex Gym recently, and she not only developed some of her skills but also learned a lot about a former rival.

“Shadow Cat” has been working as a training partner for Stamp Fairtex as the Thai star prepares for her ONE Interim Women’s Atomweight MMA World Title match against Ham Seo Hee at ONE Fight Night 14: Stamp vs. Ham on Friday, September 29, having put the defeat she suffered to Stamp behind her.

The pair went to war at ONE on Prime Video 2 in October 2022, and the former two-sport ONE World Champion snapped Radzuan’s three-fight winning streak after three rounds of dynamic action. Eager to bounce back from that setback, the 25-year-old traveled to Thailand to further develop her arsenal, and working with the famed Fairtex Gym matched her with Stamp regularly, giving her a chance to break down her former foe up close.

“Stamp is well-balanced. She knows how to goof around but then be serious at the same time. Having experience training at Fairtex as her training partner, I can tell you, it’s never a boring day,” Radzuan told ONE in an interview. “We play before training, joke around, and mess around, but we are dead serious during sparring or drilling. We can just switch our focus when we are trying to master our techniques.”

“It really does help [being able to joke around]. I think we should have these little moments during a training session because it calms us down. I really like having these funny moments with Stamp, dancing, eating, training, and everything else.” Apart from her well-developed fight game, Stamp is also known for her colorful personality. This quirky combination has endeared her to fans all over the world, and it appears that she is as fun in training, per Radzuan’s com.

Stamp Fairtex’s biggest strength, according to Jihin Radzuan

However, the Malaysian fighter quickly points out why Stamp is the top contender in the women’s atomweight division and why she is on track to make history as ONE’s first three-sport World Champion. “Stamp’s biggest strength is her striking. That’s the common one. But if I have to go into more detail, I’d say it’s her determination and eagerness to improve,” Radzuan revealed.

“That’s something you don’t see in the ring or Circle, but having spent hours training with her, I would say that’s her strength – and it’s even bigger than her striking. She knows when to play around or be serious, but most of the time, you can see she’s very hungry for the World Title, and she will be the first and only to sweep all the World Titles.”
