In the Cocky Buffalo text to the General Department of Physical Training and Sports about the case of boxing boxing Nguyen Thi Thu Nhi, they said that they had signed an exclusive boxing contract with the WBO champion within 7 years. Article 1 of the contract between Cocky Buffalo and Thu Nhi states: Within the 7 -year period of the contract signed, the club only holds the exclusive boxing activities within the scope of the professional.
This may be the basis for Thu Nhi's side to sign an amateur boxing contract for Can Tho delegation, as well as focus on the national boxing team. However, it is worth noting that the content in Article 8 of the contract between Thu Nhi and Cocky Buffalo (as in the attached document) clearly states:
“Boxer agrees that during the validity period of this agreement, there will be no participation in any boxing competition or any exhibitions or participating in training programs, including Sparring (PV), unless promoter is approved or required. Boxer agrees loyalty to perform any contracts in participating in boxing tournaments, including training – anywhere, anywhere, anywhere, anywhere, anywhere, anywhere, whenever promoter, promoter request”.
According to the explanation of the Cocky Buffalo side, Article 8 in the contract with Thu Nhi has clearly stated the boxer “will not participate in any boxing competition or any exhibitions or participating in training programs”. This should be understood in the sense that all activities related to Boxing, including Thu Nhi's professional and amateur competition, need to be approved by Cocky Buffalo.
“In the current case of Thu Nhi, the participation of amateur boxing activities can affect the training schedule and competition of Cocky Buffalo. Therefore, Thu Nhi needs to ask for permission and be approved by Cocky Buffalo. For our part, we never prohibit me from fulfilling national obligations, not preventing me from competition in the arenas such as SEA Games,” the representative Thethao.vn.
Also according to Cocky Buffalo, according to Article 8 of the contract, another mistake Thu Nhi had to refuse to attend matches that Cocky Buffalo had planned in advance. This happened right after Nhi won the World World World belt, thereby causing many difficulties for the club.
According to the original plan, Thu Nhi's WBO protection match was scheduled to take place in March this year. But with Nhi refusing to participate, the time for her to protect the belt was still open. The Cocky Buffalo said they showed their attitude of praying, sending documents to Thu Nhi but she did not answer.
Article 8 of the contract is the basis for Cocky Buffalo to send documents to Boxing (under the General Department of Sports) and the Vietnam Boxing Federation (VBF). They asked the General Department to take part in, ending the boxing activities of Thu Nhi without being allowed by the club.
On the Boxing side of the General Department of Physical Training and Sports, like Thethao.vn Reported, Mr. Vu Duc Thinh, Head of Boxing – Kickboxing, said: “I reported to the leader of the General Department of Sports about Thu Nhi's case. At the same time, I also exchanged with the host club Cocky Buffalo. The two sides will sit and work together to solve, no big deal.
