In 2015, 2016[9] and 2019, the UK Muay Thai Awards voted her the best female fighter of the year.[10] She has throughout her career been considered as one of the best female kickboxers in the world.[11][12][13]

Kickboxing career

edit

Amateur career

edit

Amy Pirnie began training in muay thai and kickboxing at 12 years old when she met her current coach Rab Izat at the Phoenix Thai Boxing Club in Glasgow. Three years later, at 15 years old, she participated in the IFMA World Championships where she won the junior gold medal. Next year, she won the junior and adult gold medal.[14][15]

Professional career

edit

In 2008, following her IFMA title win, she made her pro debut for the ISKA British 53 kg title, against Sofia Christodoulou. She won the fight by decision to clinch her first pro title.

In 2011 she faced the WAKO world titlist Silvia La Notte, during Night Kick Out 5. She suffered her first professional loss, by way of DQ.[16]

Following this loss, she went on a seven fight winning streak, culminating with a fight versus Barbara Bontempi for the WBC Muaythai International title. She won the fight in the fourth round by TKO.[17]

After a win against Dakota Ditcheva,[18] she faced Monica Santos for the ISKA world flyweight title. She won the fight in the third round by KO.[19]

Pirnie was scheduled to face Aline Seiberth at Enfusion 68 on 9 June 2019. She won the fight by a first-round knockout.[20]

Pirnie fought a rematch with Silvia La Notte for the Enfusion 52 kg championship at Enfusion 80 on 23 March 2019.[21][22] She won the fight by unanimous decision.[23]

Pirine fought Sandra Godvik for the inaugural Lion Fight super-flyweight championship at Lion Fight 54 on 20 April 2019. She won the fight by a first-round knockout.[24][25][26]

Pirnie was scheduled to make her first Lion Fight super-flyweight title defense against Loomanee W. Santai at 31 August 2019.[27] Pirnie won the fight by split decision.[28]

Pirnie was scheduled to defend her ISKA Muay Thai strawweight world championship against the 2019 IFMA champion Tessa Kakkonen at Total Fight Night 4 on 12 October 2019.[29] Pirnie won the fight by unanimous decision.[30]

Pirnie was scheduled to make her second Lion Fight title defense against Lara Fernandez at Lion Fight 68 on 22 August 2021.[31] She won the closely contested bout by split decision.[32]

On May 23, 2023, Pirnie announced she withdrew from negotiations with K-1, regarding a potential fight with their flyweight champion Kana Morimoto, as the promotion prematurely announced the fight before the terms of it were ironed out.[33]

ONE Championship

edit

In her promotional debut, Pirnie faced Yu Yau Pui on August 3, 2024, at ONE Fight Night 24.[34] She won the fight via knockout in round one.[35]

Pirnie faced Shir Cohen at ONE Fight Night 25 on October 5, 2024.[36] At the weigh-ins, Cohen weighed in at 119.25 pounds, 4.25 pounds over the atomweight limit. The bout proceeded at catchweight and Cohen was fined 50% of her purse which went to Pirnie.[37] Pirnie lost the fight via unanimous decision.[38]
