Boxing Promoter Threatens Legal Action Over Proposed Srisaket vs. Amnat Bout

Surachart 'Sia Hui' Pisitwutthinan, president of the Nakornloung Promotion boxing camp, has publicly threatened legal action regarding rumors of a match between former WBC champion Srisaket Sor Rungvisai and former IBF champion Amnat Ruenroeng. The controversy stems from social media posts by influencer Police Senior Sergeant Major Yutthapon Srisompong, known as 'Johnny Mue Prab,' who announced plans to host the bout as part of an event at his new boxing stadium in Ubon Ratchathani this December.

According to Khaosod Online, Yutthapon claims he has already secured an agreement with Srisaket and finalized the fighter's purse. However, Surachart has firmly denied these claims, stating he was never consulted and insisting the fight will not take place. He has publicly criticized the influencer for a lack of professional etiquette. Yutthapon maintains that Srisaket’s own management initiated the contact and agreed to the terms.

For residents and visitors, this dispute highlights the complexities of boxing management and event promotion in Thailand. While the event is currently advertised as part of a December card, the legal threats from Srisaket’s camp cast significant doubt on whether the match will actually occur. Observers should wait for official confirmation from the Nakornloung Promotion camp before assuming the fight is scheduled, as the conflicting statements between the promoter and the event organizer remain unresolved.
