A total of seven intense matches will be featured, showcasing the skills of 14 elite fighters from around the globe. Representing their respective countries, these warriors will step into the ring, leaving everything on the line.
In the 65.8kg weight class, Vietnam’s own Quang Van Minh, known for his devastating Muay Thai techniques, will go head-to-head with South Korea’s Park Yeong Jun. Minh’s previous performance, a knockout of German fighter Mirko Maurice Horn at LION Championship 13, still resonates with fans.
Standing at 1.80m, the 23-year-old Park is a formidable opponent, specializing in standing punches that have earned him a reputation in the ring.
Le Van Tuan, another Vietnamese fighter, will represent his country in the 56.7kg weight class against China’s Mao Xiao Fu.
