Next up in the 8 man….. 🥁 Flyn Shanks from Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Our second international to join the tournament and it’s another hard hitting Scotsman. We don’t expect this man to be looking for decisions either, another great addition to the already stacked tournament, strap in folks, plenty more to come ⚔️ 🔥

Copied from 'Under The Ropes'

Iman Barlow "Pretty Killer" has announced her retirement from Muay Thai in an Instagram video, citing the mental hardship of always waiting to get a call for a fight that never comes.

"In the last 4 years, I've started endless fight camps on a maybe, but I just kept convincing myself that it was the fight game, just to get on with it, and [that] something would always come through. But in all honesty, it didn't really. How can I keep competing at such a high level with gaps in my career?"

She signed to ONE Championship in 2019, and has only had 2 fights since.

"I've asked to go my own way, so I don't have to retire, but this was declined. This is not what I am about, and not what I stand for."

Iman is now 30 and has been fighting since the age of 4, racking up 128 fights with 120 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses. Being locked into a stagnant contract means she has been robbed of the opportunity not only to continue her career, but also to end it on her own terms.

Based on Iman's announcement, this decision was rooted not in a desire to stop fighting, but in a need to escape the stress of constantly training at a high level without being given any opportunity to perform.

"It's time to take the stress away", she said.

Iman's incredible career will go down in the history books, but it shouldn't have had to end like this.

** Announcement ** A moment I never thought would come but I can’t go on forever 🤪 128 fights and I loved every single one. I feel like a 6 minute video would be so long but now I feel like there’s so much I’ve missed. Thank you to everyone who has ever supported me and helped me along my way towards achieving my dreams, wow what a ride. I’ve met some incredible people in the sport and they will be friends for life. I hope I have inspired some people along my journey and hoping to be associated with Female Muay Thai forever. Please watch and share the video and enjoy me telling my story. #PrettyKiller
