“This event proves that Singapore athletes have the potential to bring the sport further and onto the world map,” shared the chairman of WBC Muay Thai Singapore, Spencer, with The Independent Singapore
SINGAPORE: Local Muay Thai fighters flew the Singapore flag high at the second Muay Thai Festival competition held over the weekend at Suntec City. All four Singapore athletes won their matches in the co-main events, with Wynn Neo successfully defending his WBC Muay Thai Singapore Featherweight title and three other fighters winning their matches against Thai opponents.
In the highly anticipated co-main event, the seasoned Singaporean veteran Muay Thai athlete, 47-year-old Kenji Ong, squared off against the young and talented Neo. Despite the 20-year age gap and experience, Neo displayed remarkable preparation and ultimately emerged victorious in the third round with a spectacular knockout, much to the electrifying delight of the crowd.
“I am very happy with this win. It is the best feeling when you put in your hard work, and it comes to show. Honestly, I am feeling very hungry and hyped up for more fights of higher caliber,” expressed a delighted Tan in an interview with The Independent Singapore after her match.
