Muay Thai icon Rodtang Jitmuangnon has officially confirmed his intention to continue his fighting career following a period of uncertainty.

Following the match, Rodtang was visibly emotional and expressed frustration, citing intense public criticism that extended to his family as a reason for potentially stepping away from the sport. However, in a recent statement, the fighter expressed gratitude to his supporters and clarified that he intends to keep competing for the fans who have stood by him. He emphasized that beyond the outcome of the match, the primary goal of his participation was to provide an entertaining experience for those who purchased tickets to attend the event. For fans and residents in Thailand, this news settles speculation regarding the future of one of the nation's most prominent combat sports figures. While his commitment to continue is now clear, further details regarding his next scheduled bout or specific training adjustments remain to be confirmed by his camp.
