Additionally, it’s a true honor for the WKN to regulate this fight alongside the Thailand National Commission, underscoring its significance.
The main event will feature Mahmoud Ismail, the WKN Intercontinental Champion from Egypt and a rising star in the featherweight division, facing Thailand’s own champion, Nopparat—a proven and formidable opponent.
