THE Myanmar-Thai Lethwei match, with all proceeds aimed to donate to the Myanmar earthquake relief fund, has been postponed, the MFC Myanmar Lethwei Club announced.
It was originally scheduled to be held on 27 April, but due to the recent earthquake, fans, players and other general arrangements have been affected, so the match will be postponed for a few days, it said.
Main event will be set between Veenut, a fighter from Thailand with 50 wins, 25 losses and five draws, and Tun Min Aung, who has won a gold medal at the state tournament and is eligible to fight in One Championship after competing in Muay Thai in Thailand for three years. The fight is the first match for Tun Min Aung after a few years away from Lethwei, so it is attracting a lot of interest from fans, but the date has not been announced yet.
The remaining events in the fight are also among fans’ favourites and will be held in accordance with the guidelines of the Myanmar Lethwei Federation. All proceeds, including ticket fees and advertising revenue, will be donated to the people in the earthquake-affected areas. — Htet Oo Maung/ZN
