King’s Birthday Fights in Bangkok
On the 5th of December the WMC and super promoter Khun Srongchai staged a gathering of some of the best international MuayThai fighters in the world as part of the celebrations for His Majesty, the King of Thailand’s birthday. The fighters – male and female competing in a ring surrounded by a sea of avid MuayThai faces. A crowd of over 300,000 people thronged the park in front of the Grand Palace and they certainly were not disappointed. Many celebrities have been attending the event and with no doubt this day took MUAYTHAI to the next level. It has been a special day for MUAYTHAI as His Majesty the King of Thailand for the first time in 30 years has donated the King’s Cup to MUAYTHAI.
The fights were held under the MUAYTHAI Against Drugs banner featuring 3 MUAYTHAI Against Drugs Title fights on the card. The campaign was started according to His Majesty’s Birthday speech many years ago requesting everyone to tackle the Drug problems – that was when the privy councilor of His Majesty has taken the chairmanship of this campaign under the WMC Banner.
The evenings second fight on the card was a MuayThai Against Drugs Title fight between Chris Foster of Sweden and Abasah Amaddi of Iran at 60 kgs. This was a great fight with 2 very different styles of boxer in the ring, Abash throwing some great punches, really going for the knockout and Chris using very accurate kicks to keep himself out of trouble. In the 3 round, Chris stepped it up- piling in the body-kicks and really doing damage to his opponent. He took some big blows to the head but didn’t need the count and closed in with strong grappling skills to sway the points his way. What was special in this fight is the fact that both boys fought there way to the IFMA Amateur ranks to be part of the MUAYTHAI against Drug championship .A well-deserved points victory for Chris Foster of Sweden and this shows how much Sweden and Iran has come. It was great promotion for the upcoming WMC Championships in Sweden. Congratulation to Chris and respect to Abbas for a world class fight
