Sharing on his personal page, Mr. Nick Chapman, General Director of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) announced the match between Buakaw Bankamek and Saenchai. Accordingly, the match is scheduled to take place on November 4 at Royal Cliff Hotel in Pattaya City, Thailand.
“The match between Buakaw and Saenchai will still take place in 2023. Both boxers have signed a contract, and we are still looking for more valuable content for this unique match. The official announcement and the sideline will be sent to the audience as soon as possible,” Chapman said.
When asked about whether Buakaw and Saenchai would actually play blood in the next match, Chapman confirmed that there would be no story of two boxers playing as a match. “In real life, they are friends, but on the stage is the opponent. The match cannot end with the score, there will be a winner of the loser,” Chapman added.
Initially, the match between Buakaw and Saenchai was scheduled to take place in March this year. However, the pair later must be canceled because BKFC did not meet the requirements related to the provisions of Thai law. That makes the match worth expecting between the two Muay Thailand monuments to wait longer than expected.
Not long after Chapman's announcement, both Buakaw and Saenchai both confirmed this information. In fact, 2 legends Muay used to go to the boxing floor professional, but that was not too big matches. While Buakaw used to play BKFC and won the first match, Saenchai revealed that he once refused to fight Mayweather.
