Johnny the Enforcer Confirms Amnat Promises to Return as a Muay Thai Trainer After Taking Leave to Visit His Mother

"Johnny the Enforcer" confirms that "Amnat" has promised to return as a Muay Thai trainer after taking leave to visit his mother.

On 2 September 2026, Amnat Ruenroeng, former Thai national amateur boxer and former world champion, who previously struggled with drug addiction that led to several violent outbursts and police interventions,

however, Johnny the Enforcer took Amnat under his care and trained him in boxing for both Thai and foreign students, successfully rehabilitating him from drug addiction over three months. This has caused many to wonder if Amnat will return to Johnny.

Johnny the Enforcer revealed, "Amnat’s room and all his belongings, including his championship belts, are still intact. Many have wondered why Coach Sommuay and Amnat left together. It’s fortunate they could say their goodbyes properly. Seeing Coach Sommuay leave, Amnat asked to leave as well because he missed his mother. This might be a good sign—if his mind is determined, he can return as a coach to his students. I am always ready to welcome Coach Amnat back. There is no issue between us."

"This may be a test of his mental state. We have done everything to help him regain full awareness. Whatever happens next is beyond my control. He has been treated; from now on, it’s another matter. But he promised me he would return, so I granted him leave to spend time with his family. Like thousands who have passed through my care, my duty is to help and look after them. Once they leave me, it is up to each individual."

Meanwhile, Amnat Ruenroeng clearly stated that he has taken a one-week leave to visit his mother and will return to train the children at the camp for the competition scheduled on 26 September.
