The manager of the new WBA bantamweight title holder Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym says he is looking to have him fight in Las Vegas, among other locations, to follow the path of Thai boxing legend Khaosai Galaxy.

Thai boxer Poonsawat recently earned the WBA bantamweight title on September 26 in Dublin, Ireland, after defending Irish Bernard Dunne by knockout in the third round. He returned to Thailand on September 28 and is now enjoying warm welcome and celebrations at his hometown Phupan in Sakon Nakorn province as well as at his current residence in Nonsuwan in Buri Ram.

Thailand’s Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym who recently earned the WBA bantamweight title last Saturday says his next target is the WBC title holder Toshiaki Nishioka of Japan.

Poonsawat beat Irish boxer Bernard Dunne by knockout in the third round to win the WBA title on September 26 in Dublin. He has left Ireland and arrived to Bangkok on September 28 and was greeted at the airport by his wife who travelled from the northeastern province of Buriram to congratulate him.

Poonsawat said he was extremely glad that he was able to win the world title. He said the first thing he has planned to do in Thailand is to visit Siriraj Hospital to sign a guest book sending his wish for His Majesty the King to get well soon, and to travel to Pra Pathom Chedi to fulfill a promise he made before the fight.

WBA flyweight champion Denkaosan Kaovichit of Thailand has completed the intensive training program in preparation for the fi.ght against Japan’s Daiki Kameda on October 6

Denkaosan’s trainer Durong Apollo said the WBA champion completed a long training program that included 121 sparring bouts when he fought sparring partners Manfah Galaxy and Yodcharnchai Singwangcha.

Denkaosan is currently 121 pounds and is planning to drop to 114 pounds before he leaves Thailand for Japan on September 30. The boxer is in a better condition than the time he won his title from Japan’s Takafumi Sakata at the end of the last year, said the trainer. 

Thailand’s Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym has knocked out Irish boxer Bernard Dunne in the third round to claim the WBA bantamweight champion title at the match held in Dublin on September 26.

Poonsawat won the fight with his powerful left hook that sent Dunne to the canvas three times in the third round before the referee decided to end the game as the Irish was bleeding from his nose and left ear, ending his WBA reign and allowing the Thai challenger to take the world title.

Poonsawat, 28, has only lost once when he fought in Germany but won all other 38 professional bouts, all of which were held in Thailand. He spent 18 months preparing for the WBA title fight, and said he would knock Dunne out before the seventh round
