The Las Vegas WBC MUAYTHAI extravaganza is a focus event for the thousands of Thais who are celebrating the 60 th anniversary of HM the King's accession to the throne.
Both world championships will be broadcast by ESPN through USA and Latin America as well as live to Thailand.
The match-up between Yodsaenklai and John Wayne Parr is the second time these fighters will contest a WBC world title.
Yodsaenklai scored a one point victory over JWP on Australia 's Gold Coast to take the title. Parr then went up a weight division to fight Steve Wakeling for the world Middleweight title which Wakeling won in a split decision.
I'm a better fighter as a Super Welterweight. I can make weight without any problem. I am ready to fight Yodsaenklai. It will be a war for sure." |
