Accordingly, the Lion Championship Organizing Committee arranged for Thanh Truc to have a belt protection match at LC06. Her opponent was originally identified as the runner -up of the previous season, Nguyen Vu Quynh Hoa. However, Quynh Hoa suddenly made a decision to give up that the battle of belt could not continue.
Share this issue with iThethao.vnThanh Truc said: “Initially, the Organizing Committee announced that I would have a belt protection match in June. After that, the match was moved on July 8 but because my opponent gave up, I did not know when I had a battle to protect the belt.”
“From the Tet holiday until this time, I spent a lot of time, money and effort to practice only to prepare for the battle of belt protection. Even, I have spent my pocket money to go to the training in the Philippines.
Thanh Truc revealed that she refused many tournaments abroad just to play in Lion Championship: “Some Muay and MMA tournaments in Thailand as well as the Philippines have invites but I refuse so as not to affect the original Lion Championship plan. I have trained and calculated the pattern in July to be able to play in the best way.
Currently, Lion Championship has not yet schedule an accurate schedule for Thanh Truc. The reason may be because no fighters are good enough to compete with the female boxer born in 1991. If the belt protection match cannot take place, the organizers may arrange for Thanh Truc to fight a friendly match with fighters from abroad with a higher bonus.
