Perth Muay Thai standout Jordan Godtfredsen has decided to hang up the gloves after suffering another setback this past Friday.

‘Wolf’ was stopped by surging Iranian prodigy Parham Gheirati in the second round of their bantamweight Muay Thai main event at ONE Friday Fights 64 on May 24. His final fight fittingly took place at the historic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

The end came when the 20-year-old unloaded a front kick to Godtfredsen’s face as the Aussie was hemmed against the ropes. He was unable to recover in time to continue the contest.

In the wake of his defeat, Godtfredsen penned a lengthy statement on social media.

“Big thank you to everyone that tuned in last night and stayed up late to watch my fight. Not the result we were after, but that’s the fight game and the risk we take every time we step over those ropes. I’m OK, no major injuries bar a few bruises which is a blessing and all we, as fighters, can ask for,” he wrote.

“Anyone that watched the show last night would have seen how many first round knockouts there were and being backstage seeing people coming back with big cuts, broken hands and fingers makes you grateful to come out in one piece.

“Thank you to the ONE Championship team for the opportunity, for flying me over here to fight at Lumpinee and headline the show, and to my opponent Parham for the fight.”

The 31-year-old also went on to announce that he is calling time on his fighting career after amassing 33 victories from 45 contests as a professional.

Ultimately, his personal life, he says, has to take priority.

“I had to come to terms with retiring a couple of times over the years. First, when I injured my back herniating my L5/S1 disc eight or nine years ago, which took a lot to come back from, and again during the COVID lockdowns being inactive for three years when there seemed to be no end in sight. I managed to return since the world opened up and have eight more fights, winning a second WBC Australian title, WMC Intercontinental title, fought for a WBC World Title, and fought at ONE Lumpinee twice,” he said.

While he was unable to earn a six-figure contract with ONE Championship through the ONE Friday Fights platform, Godtfredsen expressed that he is content with all that he has achieved in his career.

After a successful career on the domestic circuit, he goes out with a slew of prestigious accolades earned the hard way in the unforgiving sport of Muay Thai.

But like any fighter, the competitive flame never truly burns out, and there’s one thing that could entice him back to the ring for one last dance.

“I am happy and content with everything I’ve been able to achieve, and those in my inner circle know I have been treating each fight as if it’s my last and just enjoying the journey and all that comes with it,” he concluded.

“I’m not ruling out one last retirement fight in Perth, but I won’t be fighting interstate or internationally anymore. If I don’t have one last appearance, I’ll be happy finishing my career at the Mecca of Muay Thai here at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.”
