Stand Up Promotions Announce Largest Muay Thai Event in America for Queen's Birthday Celebration
NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Internationally recognized professional fighters from all over the world
will gather in Southern California on August 14, 2011 for a chance to
fight for one of several world titles up for grabs. This event is
traditionally held in Thailand in honor of the Queen's birthday
celebration, but due to the immense popularity of the sport
internationally special permission was granted to bring this celebration
stateside. Stand Up Promotions along with Muay Thai Association of
America (MTAA) and WBC Muay Thai received the Queen's blessing along
with complete endorsement from the Thai government.
"We are honored to have for the Queen's birthday acclaimed fighters from
all over the world compete in the most prestigious Muay Thai fight to
take place in the United States," said Robin Hart, Promoter of Stand Up
Promotions. "Fans continue to gravitate towards Muay Thai due to the
exciting bouts, technique and rich tradition of the sport."
Fighters from Thailand, America, and Japan will showcase their skills
and their love of the sport in the ring with heart-pounding action as
they compete for two world titles in the same fight. To add to the
significance of the event, for the first time ever in Muay Thai history,
the Diamond Championship Belt will be awarded to one fighter who will
own it for their lifetime; it never has to be defended. The WBC (boxing
division) created the Diamond Championship Belt in September of 2009 as
an honorary championship exclusively to award the winner of a historic
fight between two high-profile boxers.
World class fighters expected to fight on August 14 include Saenchai
Sinibi and Rungravee Sasiprapa from Thailand; Kevin Ross, Coke
Chunhawat, Malaipet Sasiprapa and Chike Lindsay from the U.S.; and
Tetsuya Yamato and Kunitaka Fujiwara from Japan. Additional fighters to
be announced.
Tickets are priced at $55 general, $95 ringside and $125 VIP. Tickets
can be purchased online at www.standuppromotions.com.
