Despite his time away, Kaotaem Fairtex always felt close to the bright lights of Bangkok’s fabled Lumpinee Stadium. Now, on Friday, April 3, the 21-year-old fan favorite takes on Spain’s Xavier Gonzalez in the flyweight Muay Thai main event of The Inner Circle , broadcasting live in Asia primetime.

After dropping his promotional debut, he bounced back with three straight wins, capped by a vicious third-round TKO over Tuanthong Paesaisi at ONE Friday Fights 105 . Just as his career hit its stride, life intervened. A back injury forced him to the sidelines, and rather than rush his return, the Road to ONE Champion chose to prioritize his studies.
He is now in the final year of the Faculty of Education at Thailand National Sports University. He told onefc. com: “I’m 100 percent ready.
I don’t have any injuries. I did have a bit of a back issue when I first got back into training for a scheduled fight, so I had to take a break to get it treated. But that’s all cleared up now.
