Before the Lion Championship 9 event, boxer Tran Quang Loc shared a remarkable message. He said he had just returned the 70kg weight championship to the Lion Championship Organizing Committee. Earlier, “brown monsters” also declared retired, officially parting with a professional MMA competition at the age of 34.
Tran Quang Loc's announcement also means that the “brown monster” has definitely rested, ending the rumors surrounding him that he could return after retiring. At the same time, the Lion Championship Organizing Committee is likely to arrange a championship struggle in the weight of 70kg in the near future.
At the present time, the two fighters are most likely to compete for the belt in the weight of 70kg male weight, Nguyen Van Kamil (Vietnam Top Team) and Ban Van Hoang (Wushu King). Kamil was the one who competed with Tran Quang Loc for the last 2 matches. Meanwhile, Ban Van Hoang is playing more and more progress, and he has just won Nghiem Tung Lam.
In the most positive context, Nguyen Van Kamil and Ban Van Hoang can compete for the championship by the end of this year. If this plan becomes true, this will be the most expected confrontation of Lion Championship 2023. Because, within the framework of the weight of 70kg male, Kamil and Ban Van Hoang is too strong compared to the rest.
Earlier, when sharing with Ithethao.vn, Kamil commented that Ban Van Hoang had many qualities to become excellent MMA boxers. As a boxer from Wushu, Van Hoang has a comprehensive set of striking skills. That was shown in the match with Nghiem Tung Lam, when this boxer won TKO in the second half.
