Ferrari Fairtex
View on GrokipediaEarly Life and Background
Birth and Upbringing
Ferrari Fairtex, born Kittiphop Mueangphram on August 1, 1997, entered the world in the rural Khiri Rat Nikhom District of Surat Thani Province in southern Thailand.[4][2] This region, characterized by agricultural communities and limited economic opportunities, provided the backdrop for his early years, where family and local traditions played key roles in shaping his resilience.[5] He grew up as one of three children in a modest family, with a younger brother who would later follow a similar path into professional boxing, training at a gym in Bangkok under the name Jakua Jakrayanmuaythai.[2] The rural environment of Surat Thani, marked by its proximity to small-scale farming and community gyms like the nearby Kor Satian Gym, exposed young Kittiphop to the physical demands and allure of combat sports from an early age; he often observed boxers training and running, which ignited his curiosity about the discipline.[2] In this setting, where poverty was prevalent and income disparities wide, Muay Thai emerged as a viable avenue for social mobility and family support, offering young boys from rural backgrounds a chance to earn through competitions despite the hardships of agricultural life.[6][7] These early experiences in Surat Thani fostered a toughness essential for his future pursuits, as the economic pressures of rural southern Thailand commonly drove children toward combat sports as a means of contributing to household finances.[5] At age 11, influenced by the need for advanced training opportunities unavailable locally, he relocated to the Bang Rak Noi neighborhood in Nonthaburi, on the outskirts of Bangkok, to join a more established gym.[2] He began formal Muay Thai training at age 7 in a local camp in Surat Thani.[2]Introduction to Muay Thai
Ferrari Fairtex, born in the rural province of Surat Thani in southern Thailand, discovered his passion for Muay Thai at a young age through the influence of local fighters. Growing up near the Kor Satian Gym, he was inspired by the sight of boxers running and training, which sparked his curiosity and desire to try the sport himself.[2] At the age of seven, Fairtex began his formal Muay Thai training at the Kietrasada camp in Surat Thani under the guidance of his first mentor, Ajahn Dam. This early phase focused on building foundational skills, including basic stances, punches, kicks, and defensive movements, in a modest rural setting that emphasized discipline and endurance. His motivation stemmed from a simple eagerness to emulate the fighters he admired, leading him to commit to regular training despite the physical demands on a young child. A formative experience came shortly after starting, when he entered his first amateur bout at age seven, competing locally and earning 300 baht despite losing on points; this initial exposure taught him resilience and the realities of ring competition.[2] By around age ten, Fairtex had progressed enough to win a provincial belt in a southern Thailand tournament, marking an early milestone in his amateur development and reinforcing his dedication to the sport. These pre-teen years involved participating in local events that honed his technique and built his confidence through consistent sparring and drills at Kietrasada. Seeking greater opportunities, at age eleven he relocated to the Bangkok area and joined the Jakrayanmuaythai camp in Nonthaburi, transitioning to a more structured urban environment with intensified training regimens and exposure to higher-level amateur opponents. This move represented a pivotal shift, allowing him to refine his skills in a competitive hub while continuing to draw on the foundational lessons from his rural beginnings.[2]Professional Career
Domestic Success in Thailand
Ferrari Fairtex began his professional Muay Thai career in Thailand's local circuits, quickly progressing to bouts at prestigious venues such as Lumpinee Stadium and Rajadamnern Stadium, where he built a reputation for technical striking and resilience. After early training at the Jakrayanmuaythai camp in Nonthaburi, he competed in high-profile domestic events, amassing experience against established fighters in the bantamweight and featherweight divisions. His early professional fights often took place under Channel 7 promotions, showcasing his development from regional matches to national recognition within Thailand's rigorous Muay Thai hierarchy.[1][2] A pivotal moment in his domestic ascent came on March 21, 2022, when Fairtex defeated Tapaokaew Singmawynn by unanimous decision in a rematch at Rajadamnern Stadium. This victory avenged an earlier loss to the clinch specialist at Channel 7 and highlighted Fairtex's improved fight IQ and endurance over five rounds, solidifying his status among Thailand's top 135-pound contenders. The bout drew significant attention for its intensity, with Fairtex landing precise combinations to outpoint his opponent in a closely contested affair.[8][9] On August 12, 2018, Fairtex captured the Channel 7 Boxing Stadium 135-pound title by defeating the experienced Jamesak SuperMuay via decision, a win that marked his breakthrough against a multi-belt champion known for victories in 122- and 130-pound divisions. This title underscored Channel 7's role in the Thai Muay Thai ecosystem as a proving ground for future stadium kings, elevating Fairtex's profile domestically.[2][1] Fairtex's standout performances continued in the years following, including a majority decision victory over Yodlekpet Or Pitisak at Channel 7 Boxing Stadium and a decision over Nuenglanlek Jitmuangnon at Lumpinee Stadium in 2021. These results, along with wins against opponents like Rittewada Sitthikul, positioned him as a rising star in the 135-pound class, earning him the 2021 Sports Writers Association of Thailand Fighter of the Year award despite only four bouts that year. Prior to his international exposure in 2022, Fairtex's pre-ONE record reflected his dominance in Thai-based bouts, with approximately 200 professional fights yielding around 150 victories, including 20 knockouts. This progression emphasized his consistency in stadium warfare, transitioning from undercard appearances to main-event status.[2][10]ONE Championship Involvement
Ferrari Fairtex made his ONE Championship debut on September 29, 2022, at ONE 161 in Singapore, facing Chinese striker Han Zihao in a bantamweight Muay Thai bout.[11] Despite Han weighing in over the limit, Ferrari secured a unanimous decision victory through his aggressive striking and pressure, marking an electrifying entry into the promotion that highlighted his explosive power and forward momentum.[12] This win established him as a promising talent in the bantamweight division, where his domestic success in Thailand served as a strong foundation for international competition.[10] Prior to his ONE debut, Ferrari transitioned to the renowned Fairtex Training Center in Pattaya, Thailand, in 2020, a move that significantly enhanced his preparation for higher-level bouts.[1] Training alongside elite fighters like Stamp Fairtex and Saemapetch Fairtex allowed him to refine his technical striking and conditioning, adapting his style to the global stage's demands and contributing to his rapid adaptation in ONE events.[1] Throughout his initial ONE tenure from 2023 onward, Ferrari showcased his striking prowess in several key bantamweight Muay Thai contests, rebounding from early setbacks with dominant performances. For instance, on August 4, 2023, at ONE Friday Fights 27, he outpointed Russian fighter Ilyas Musaev via unanimous decision, using precise combinations and leg kicks to control the pace over three rounds.[13] Similarly, on November 24, 2023, at ONE Friday Fights 42, Ferrari defeated Kirill Khomutov by unanimous decision, overwhelming his opponent with relentless pressure and sharp elbows that underscored his evolution as a complete striker.[14] These victories propelled his trajectory, earning him recognition for his high-volume offense and ability to finish exchanges strongly, though he faced challenges like losses to Fabio Reis at ONE Friday Fights 4 on February 10, 2023, and Fariyar Aminipour at ONE Friday Fights 14 on April 28, 2023.[15] In 2024, Ferrari recorded mixed results, with unanimous decision wins over Antar Kacem on January 12 at ONE Friday Fights 47 and Mavlud Tifiyev on March 22 at ONE Friday Fights 56, where his superior footwork and clinch work neutralized durable opponents.[16][17] However, he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Dmitrii Kovtun on August 2 at ONE Fight Night 24. His career in ONE reached a pivotal moment on January 31, 2025, at ONE Friday Fights 95, where his bout against Kiamran Nabati was later ruled a No Contest due to doping violations by both fighters.[18] Following a suspension, Ferrari returned to ONE on August 29, 2025, at ONE Friday Fights 122, facing Kongklai Sor Sommai in another bantamweight Muay Thai bout at Lumpinee Stadium.[19] Despite showing flashes of his signature aggression, he was stopped by knockout in the third round, marking a tough re-entry but demonstrating his resilience in resuming his international campaign.[20]Doping Suspension
ONE Friday Fights 95
ONE Friday Fights 95 took place on January 31, 2025, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, featuring a bantamweight Muay Thai bout between Thai fighter Ferrari Fairtex and Russian contender Kiamran Nabati.[21][22] Prior to this matchup, Ferrari Fairtex had established himself as a rising prospect in ONE Championship's Friday Fights series with several stoppage victories, building expectations for a strong performance against a ranked adversary.[23][18] Nabati entered as the #3-ranked bantamweight Muay Thai contender with an undefeated record, aiming to extend his streak and solidify his title contention, while Ferrari sought to capitalize on his domestic success and home-crowd advantage in a high-stakes clash.[24][25] The fight began aggressively, with both fighters exchanging strikes early in the first round; Nabati pressed forward with powerful punches, while Ferrari attempted to counter using traditional Thai clinch work and leg kicks to control distance.[26] At 1:56 of round one, Nabati landed a devastating left hook that dropped Ferrari to the canvas, prompting a knockout stoppage by the referee.[25][27] Post-fight, Nabati celebrated the victory as his 23rd consecutive win, earning praise for his knockout power and boxing precision against a skilled Thai striker, with commentators highlighting the upset potential fulfilled by the quick finish.[25] Ferrari's team expressed disappointment over the abrupt end, noting his preparation for a longer bout, though no immediate concerns about the performance were raised by officials or observers at the time.[28]Investigation and Penalty
On March 5, 2025, ONE Championship announced that Ferrari Fairtex had tested positive for the banned stimulants heptaminol and octodrine following his bout at ONE Friday Fights 95.[3][29] The investigation was conducted under the ONE Anti-Doping Programme, which adheres to World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) regulations, with samples analyzed by the Independent Drug Testing Management (IDTM). Urine samples from both Ferrari and his opponent, Kiamran Nabati, were collected following their January 31, 2025, fight in Bangkok, marking a rare instance where fighters from the same bout tested positive. Heptaminol, a cardiac stimulant that enhances blood flow, and octodrine, a central nervous system stimulant that boosts endurance, were detected in Ferrari's sample.[30][31][29] As a result of the findings, ONE Championship imposed a three-month suspension on Ferrari, effective immediately, allowing him to return to competition after this period. In contrast, Nabati received a one-year ban for testing positive for the anabolic agent drostanolone, as well as modafinil and meldonium, reflecting the severity of those substances under WADA guidelines. The disparity in penalty lengths underscores ONE's assessment of the violations' nature and intent. Fairtex served his suspension and returned to competition on August 29, 2025, at ONE Friday Fights 122, where he lost to Kongklai Sor Sommai by knockout in the third round.[19][3][32][30] The doping violations led to the bout's outcome being overturned and declared a no contest, nullifying Nabati's original KO victory. Ferrari did not issue a public statement regarding the positive tests or suspension at the time of the announcement. This incident highlighted ongoing enforcement efforts within ONE Championship to maintain integrity in Muay Thai competitions.[3][29]Career Statistics
Titles and Accomplishments
Ferrari Fairtex captured the Channel 7 Stadium 135 lbs Championship on August 12, 2018, defeating Jamesak Super Muay by decision in a highly competitive bout at the TV7 Stadium in Bangkok.[2] This title, one of the most prestigious in Thai Muay Thai due to the stadium's long-standing reputation for showcasing top domestic talent on national television, marked a significant milestone in his early professional career, solidifying his status as an elite striker in the lighter weight classes.[33] He successfully defended the Channel 7 Stadium 135 lbs title in 2021 against Ritteewada Sitthikul, securing a decision victory that highlighted his technical prowess and endurance in a grueling five-round fight.[2] This defense underscored the belt's value within Thailand's Muay Thai hierarchy, where retaining such honors against seasoned opponents like Sitthikul—known for his aggressive style—demonstrated Fairtex's dominance in the division and contributed to his growing acclaim among fans and promoters.[2] On the international stage, Fairtex earned a bronze medal in the -63.5 kg division at the 2019 IFMA World Muaythai Championships held in Bangkok, Thailand, advancing through the quarterfinals before a semifinal loss.[1] As an amateur event governed by the International Federation of Muaythai Associations (IFMA), this accomplishment represented a key transition for Fairtex from domestic circuits to global recognition, emphasizing the sport's emphasis on clean technique and sportsmanship in an Olympic-style format.[1] In 2021, Fairtex was awarded the Sports Writers Association of Thailand Fighter of the Year honor, recognizing his four standout performances during a challenging period marked by COVID-19 restrictions.[2] This accolade, voted by prominent Thai sports journalists, celebrated victories over high-profile opponents such as Yodlekpet Or Pitisak and Nuenglanlek Jitmuangnon, further enhancing his reputation as a resilient and impactful figure in Muay Thai.[2] These achievements collectively elevated Fairtex's profile, paving the way for his transition to international promotions like ONE Championship and establishing him as a benchmark for technical excellence and perseverance in both Thai and global Muay Thai contexts.[1]Fight Record
Ferrari Fairtex has an extensive professional Muay Thai career with numerous bouts in Thailand's major stadium circuits, reflecting his longevity and high-volume fighting schedule typical of Thai nak muay who begin competing at a young age.[34] His record includes notable updates in 2025, such as a no contest against Kiamran Nabati on January 31 at ONE Friday Fights 95 due to both fighters testing positive for banned substances (Fairtex suspended for 3 months for heptaminol), and a loss to Kongklai Sor.Sommai via knockout in the third round on August 29 at ONE Friday Fights 122 in Bangkok, Thailand.[21][3][20] While a complete chronological list of all fights is documented in Thai Muay Thai archives, the following table details his professional bouts in ONE Championship, where he has competed since 2022, providing insight into his international-level performances.
