This Saturday, 22 August, the RWS event's main bout is a high-caliber three-round fight between 34-year-old former Rajadamnern 126-pound champion Yothin F.A. Group and the in-form younger fighter Fai Raeng Ch. Hap Yaek, who has remained undefeated for 1 year, 2 months, and 20 days.
Yothin's most recent fight was earlier this year, marking his first in 11 months, where he lost his long-held title decisively to Chiebkard Por.Pongsawang. His comeback aims to prove he still has what it takes to compete at the highest level and to stop the rising 17-year-old fighter's momentum.
“In this fight, I intend to come back and win. Fai Raeng is very talented, so we have to see who comes out on top,” Yothin said.
Fai Raeng’s recent form has been outstanding, with nine consecutive wins and no losses for 1 year, 2 months, and 20 days. Promoter Sommai Sakulmetta of the New Power group has brought him into the RWS event as a step toward competing for the Rajadamnern title. Though he is considered the underdog, this prodigious youth is confident he can defeat the experienced veteran and eventually become Rajadamnern champion.
“I’m at a disadvantage against Yothin in many ways, but if I can beat him, I won’t fear anyone. The Rajadamnern championship will be within reach,” Fai Raeng said.
It will be fascinating to see if the veteran’s experience can stop the young fighter’s surge or if the fresh energy of the newcomer will prevail. Don’t miss this RWS main event this Saturday!
