Mia Skeer Muay Thai Interview: ISKA World Champion
Mia Skeer is the ISKA World Champion and the UK's number one, fighting out of Salford Striking Academy in Greater Manchester. She came to Perth with the UK team for Empire Fight Series 14, and we sat her down before she beat Fon Piggott on a decision. Mia was first up for Series 2. Here are her 3 extra minutes.
Mia Skeer vs Fon Piggott at Empire Fight Series 14
Empire Fight Series 14 was Australia vs the UK, Perth, 5 September 2026. Australia took the series 3 to 2 (Aus Muay Thai results). Every fighter on the card wore Supa Phat.
Mia's was the women's bout. UK corner, Royal Blue, against Fon Piggott of GTG Perth, and she took it on the judges' cards (here's how Muay Thai fights are scored). Empire's tale of the tape had her at 11 fights and 9 wins going in, so Perth made it 10 from 12. Add the ISKA super-flyweight world title from April and 2 wins at Rajadamnern in the last 12 months.
Phat Chats is our quickfire interview series. A pro fight runs 5 rounds of 3 minutes. Round 6 is the 3 extra minutes after the bell. 17 questions, one clock, and the fighter picks who sits in the chair next. Robbie Mars filmed Mia's in Perth before the fight, on a fold-out chair by the Swan River.
The 3 extra minutes
Hardest you've ever been hit?
Mia: Probably Gabriele Moram. It was on a Road to ONE tournament. She's probably the strongest fighter I've ever fought.
Scariest opponent you've ever faced?
Mia: She was called Petchtapee. She was a Thai girl, but it was at a lot of a higher weight than usual. So I'd say that was the most scary.
Best knockout of your career?
Mia: I haven't actually had a professional knockout, but one of my old amateur ones. I can't really remember any.
Favourite fighter of all time?
Mia: Allycia Rodrigues, one of my favourites. I'd say her.
Best fight you've ever seen?
Mia: Allycia Rodrigues versus Stamp Fairtex was a good fight. One of my favourites.
Most up & coming Muay Thai fighter right now?
Mia: Me.
Muay Thai to you in one sentence?
Mia: It's my whole life. It means everything to me.
Quickfire: punch, kick, elbow or knee?

Quickfire: fight in Thailand or at home?
