Shir Cohen has all the motivation she needs to make it big in ONE Championship. With a win in her atomweight Muay Thai battle with surging Scottish standout Amy Pirnie at ONE Fight Night 25: Nicolas vs. Eersel II on October 4, the Israeli star can take a huge leap forward in her goal of bringing ONE World Title gold, and a measure of hope, back to her home country.
Cohen grew up in Tiberias, Israel, where her parents’ separation and her mother’s illness left her and her three siblings with responsibilities beyond their years.
