As the reigning champion of the Vietnam MMA Lion Championship, the boxer Pham Van Nam has the full quality to step out to fight against the international. At the present time, the boxer born in 1992 has officially advanced to practice. He joined the Saigon Sports Club (SSC) and hoped to develop his career to a new level.
The immediate goal of Van Nam is to protect the Lion Championship championship, and seek foreign competition opportunities. But few people know, before having “the whole world” in their hands, Van Nam experienced a difficult past. He must earn a living by doing all kinds of jobs, including motorbike drivers.
Sharing an old article in 2016 on his personal page, Pham Van Nam showed that he used to work as a motorbike taxi driver and a modest import exam of 200-300,000 VND per day. The boxer born in 1992 is not afraid to talk about difficult days, where he had to fight to take blood to win guests in the middle of the capital.
Van Nam's difficult and disoriented days had a big turning point when he started getting used to martial arts. There is no good basic foundation, starting quite late compared to many other colleagues, but Van Nam possesses a more qualified person: the will. He became acquainted with many different martial arts such as traditional martial arts, Jujitsu before encroaching on MMA.
In the first Lion Championship season, Van Nam was not originally highly appreciated in the weight of 56kg in weight. But in the end, the boxer born in 1992 surprised a series of rivals to step to the last match. In the final night, Van Nam also waded upstream to win by the point.
