Not just the one with opponent Yu Yau Pui. All of them.
The 22-year-old Thai announced her retirement after a first-round TKO loss at ONE Fight Night 41, closing the chapter on a career that began when she was still a teenager and once promised so much.
Backstage, she explained the decision with a calmness that suggested it had been coming for a long time.
“I was going to retire eight years ago,” she said. “At that time my parents were going to break up. I was a kid and I wanted them to stay together. That’s why I fought until now.”
Supergirl debuted in ONE Championship aged just 16 in 2020, quickly emerging as one of the promotion’s most exciting young prospects.
But the story behind the bright lights was far more complicated. For years, she said, fighting had never truly been about chasing titles or fame.
“I just wanted them to be proud, to be happy,” she said. “I did it for everyone else. But now I’m too tired and look at myself, like, ‘What about me?’”
The emotional cost of that decision slowly began to surface.
“In the last two or three years I have had panic attacks,” she said. “I could not sleep and had bad depression.”
Still, she kept going.
Saturday’s bout was her first fight since a stoppage loss to Cristina Morales in November 2023. An attempted comeback last August also collapsed after she failed hydration tests and opponent Teodora Kirilova refused a catchweight.
However, even before stepping into the ring last weekend, she knew the end was near. What mattered was finishing on her own terms.
“I was going to do it even if I win or lose,” she said.
Overwhelming
In recent years, she said, the pressure of fighting had become overwhelming. Support from her boyfriend, Thai MMA fighter Peter Danesoe, helped her begin to see a different future.
“He told me, ‘You work hard, you make money, and you can help people, help animals,’” she said. “That made me think differently.”
Supergirl says she has never been motivated by money or fame.
“I have food, I have a house, I have a car. That’s enough for me. I don’t want more. Some people don’t have meals, they don’t have anything.”
Instead, she now hopes to focus on helping others – including the many animals she has taken in over the years.
“I have nine kids,” she said with a smile, referring to her pets.
A potential modelling career also awaits, while she will return to helping run the family’s Jaroonsak Gym in Phuket.
For years, Supergirl had been fighting for reasons that no one else knew. Now, finally, she feels free to stop.
“I don’t hate Muay Thai,” she said softly.
“I love having Muay Thai in my life. But I just don’t want to fight now.”
