Asian WBC champion Tran Van Thao recently updated information about his latest match on social networks. Accordingly, Tran Van Thao will confront WBA champion with WBA Dong A Phayom Boonrueang (9-0), one of the very young but “huge” achievements of the Golden Temple.
“Starting the path of conquest after the cavid pandemic with a confrontation with an unbeaten champion from Thailand (9-0),” Tran Van Thao wrote on Facebook.
“See you all on December 19 at Trigger Boxing.”
Not long ago, Tran Van Thao once “revealed” that he “will officially return to the professional boxing floor of the world to climb back after a period of not playing for Covid translation”. Thao once planned to compete for the IBA belt with the opponent Tanzania, Fadhili Majiha, unfortunately due to the influence of Covid-19 pandemic, the match could not proceed as intended.
Currently, Tran Van Thao no longer owns the Asian WBC belt after a long time that cannot protect the belt, so it is possible that the battle between Thao and Millet Boonrueang will be to compete for the IBA belt, or merely a match to increase the ranking of Thao on the world ring.
This will not be an easy match for Tran Van Thao. Phayom Boonrueang is only 21 years old with 9 professional wins, but is one of the brightest young stars of the Thai boxing village.
Striking as a right handmard (Orthodox) with a very powerful attack, Milling Boonrueang often pressed the yard, creating great pressure on his opponent. In his 9 wins, Phayom Boonrueang won the whole with Knockout/Knockout Technical against rivals with a much greater achievement.
It is expected that Tran Van Thao's match will take place at Trigger Boxing (Bich Bich, Hoa Thach Ward, Tan Phu District, Ho Chi Minh City) on December 19. The remaining matches of Fight Card have not been announced.
