Promoter Chuwong Rawee-aramwong is reportedly upset with the organizer’s decision to pick his fighter Thong Lookmakhamwan for the much-anticipated cross-stadium event next month.
Thong was initially proposed as a candidate for the sequel to the popular Lumpini-Ratchadamnern event that will be held in early August, but chief organizer the famed Songchai Ratanasuban ignored him in favor of having Rungruenglek Lookmakhamwan fight with Pakorn Sakyothin as the highlight match, said muaythai columnist Singdong.
However, the planned match ran into weight issues and Songchai decided to replace Rungruenglek with Thong, which upset his promoter Chuwong, who proceeded to make demand that Songchai must remove the match of his another top fighter, Chomthong Chuwattana, in order to have Thong.

Thailand's amateur boxing chief General Taweep Jantararoj is again claiming that a certain figure has been lobbying International Amateur Boxing Association (AIBA) President Wu Ching-Kuo to act against him.
According to him, the unnamed enemy, who is also a Thai citizen, wanted him removed from AIBA, and subsequently, the Amateur Boxing Association of Thailand (ABAT).
Those with some knowledge of Thailand’s amateur boxing can probably guess who the ABAT chief is talking about. With a long history of rivalry and prestigious positions at stake, neither of the two is willing to give up to the other.

Good time for Sangmorakot
The Sangmorakot training camp has had so much luck with the Omnoi Stadium recently, with many of its fighters receiving large amount of cash rewards. Marklaek Sit Itipito alone got 100,000 Baht from the sponsors, while Kittisak Sit Itipito and Wisanlek Sor Tossapol taking 50,000 and 30,000 Baht, respectively. Perhaps this is why the camp boss “Ja Tui” decided to celebrate the Thai New Year in Japan.

At the match of Chonlatharn Ao Piriyapinyo last Friday, he expectedly uttered to some people that he had many ideas on improving the muaythai sport. “When I become the chairman of the muaythai association, I will definitely realize these projects,” announced the influential promoter. Well, a certain person’s throne may now not be as secured as he thought.

The generous muaythai philanthropist Prayoon Nanla may no longer sponsor the sport, says a newspaper writer.
