Muay Thai Star Rodtang Jitmuangnon Offers Support to Johnny Mueprab Amid Controversy

Renowned Muay Thai fighter Rodtang Jitmuangnon has publicly supported former police officer Johnny Mueprab following a viral incident involving former world champion boxer Amnat Ruenroeng.

According to Khaosod Online, a viral video recently surfaced showing former world champion boxer Amnat Ruenroeng in an intoxicated state at a temple fair. This incident drew significant public criticism, as Amnat had been under the care of well-known former police officer Johnny Mueprab for the past three months.

In response to the backlash, Johnny Mueprab expressed his deep regret and apologized to the public. He stated that he and his family had done their best to support Amnat, comparing the effort to helping someone rise from the mud. Johnny has since requested that local authorities and residents in Si Racha take over the responsibility of caring for the former boxer.

Muay Thai superstar Rodtang Jitmuangnon took to social media to offer words of encouragement to Johnny. Rodtang urged him not to blame himself, noting that everyone has their own path and karma, and that Johnny had already fulfilled his duty by providing support.

For residents and travelers, this situation highlights the ongoing public discourse surrounding the welfare of retired athletes in Thailand. While the immediate support provided by Johnny has concluded, it remains to be confirmed how local authorities in Si Racha will address the care and well-being of Amnat Ruenroeng moving forward.
