Olympic Gold Medalist Somluck Kamsing Seeks to Mentor Boxer Amnat Ruenroeng
Following reports of a public disturbance involving boxer Amnat Ruenroeng, Olympic champion Somluck Kamsing visited Chonburi to offer guidance and support.
On September 3, 2026, Olympic gold medalist Somluck Kamsing traveled to a restaurant in Si Racha, Chonburi, to meet with professional boxer Amnat Ruenroeng. According to a report by Khaosod Online, the visit followed an incident on September 2, 2026, where Amnat reportedly caused a public disturbance while intoxicated after returning to his hometown to visit family.
Somluck, who previously trained with Amnat in the national boxing camp, expressed concern for his younger colleague’s well-being and career trajectory. He stated that he intended to offer mentorship and encourage Amnat to focus on his professional responsibilities, noting that Amnat is viewed as a hero by many fans. Somluck emphasized his desire to prevent Amnat from repeating such behavior, as he believes the boxer has significant potential.
Although Somluck was unable to meet with Amnat during this specific visit, the effort highlights the close-knit nature of Thailand’s boxing community and the role of senior athletes in providing social support. For residents and visitors, this incident serves as a reminder of the high public profile of local sports figures. It remains to be confirmed how Amnat will respond to this outreach or if there will be any formal repercussions regarding his recent conduct.
