This explosive and exciting fighter will now defend his WBC Muay Thai Super Welterweight Title in one night of fist fighting fury and action as one of 9-Title bouts, on Friday June 20th at Jamaica’s Trelawny Stadium.

Muay Thai Boxing, The Art of the Eight Limbs is the Thai name for a form of hard martial arts practiced in several Southeast Asian countries, and is the national sport of Thailand. Since the 1990s, Muay Thai has quickly become a global phenom and has been featured in numerous films and television programs. Featuring graceful and aesthetic rituals, the sport also utilizes punching, kicking, clinching and elbow techniques that are not allowed in western boxing matches. It is not uncommon to see a knock-out during a Muay Thai fight.
Yodsaenklai Fairtex is the current World Muay Thai Super Welterweight Champion and the winner of the prestigious Lumpinee Stadium title in Thailand. He will be one of 18 professional Muay Thai fighters, representing 9 countries including USA, Thailand, UK, France, Canada, Australia, Japan, Holland, and China, through a grueling full rules battle to win a title. According to the buzz already generated, the fight card is possibly “the greatest fight card in 15 years outside of Thailand”. The fight will be streamed live via online pay per view on www.istreamyoustream.com.
