Muaythai manager Sumet Suesattabongkot, also known by those in the sport as “Mit Nakorn”, has reportedly been selected for the much sought-after promoter position at Ratchadamnern Stadium.

Mit will replace Singnoi Silachai who earlier resigned from his post with Ratchadamnern. Before selecting Mit, the stadium initially considered a number of candidates, one of whom was Propit Por Telakul or “Pit Kolok”, the manager of Por Telakul camp.

Mit, currently the manager of Sor Yupinda gym, has cultivated a close relationship with the influential Petchyindee promoters at Lumipini Stadium, who may be able to help recruiting top fighters to his first Ratchadamnern events on May 5 and 23.
