After Martin Nguyen announced that he would return to the arena with Korean boxer Kim Jae Woong at One On TNT 2, recently the information that Thanh Le prepared to play Garry Tonon has also been revealed by CEO ONE Championship Chatri Sityodong.
This makes many fans regret – perhaps we have to wait for the minimum of the end of 2021, or even by 2022, to see the battle of Thanh Le vs. Martin Nguyen 2.
“As you all know, my original plan was to confront Martin Nguyen in a rematch,” Thanh Le shared in an interview with One championship.
“There was a bit of regret that I was planning to return to the battlefield in February, but my hand injury was still not recovered. Now my priority is to focus on my wife, she is about to give birth to a baby. Therefore, I cannot promptly confront Martin Nguyen sooner.”
Thanh Le's hand injury came from the competition with Martin Nguyen last year at the One: Inside the Matrix, and recently due to an accident in training, he had to bandage his fingers again. Temporarily Thanh Le still needs more time to recover. In addition to the fact that Thanh Le's wife is about to stay in April, he can only ask his upper time to June or July this year.
“However, I am not afraid to receive more opportunities from other competitors, such as Garry Tonon – who had a very convincing victory over Koyomi Matsushima,” Thanh said.
“Even not only in Featherweight, I am not afraid to rank Lightweight to challenge Christian Lee. I always try to let the upper stage as often as possible, so when the” boss “Chatri offers the contract, I accept it right away.”
