Thai Fight (Thai: ไทยไฟต์;[1] stylized as THAI FIGHT in capitals) is a Muay Thai promotion based in Bangkok, Thailand, which hosts events worldwide and all across Thailand.[2] Thai Fight events are produced in conjunction with the Tourism Authority of Thailand.[3] The inaugural tournament took place on August 29, 2010,[4] and the promotion has since featured notable fighters such as Youssef Boughanem, Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee, Saiyok Pumpanmuang, Yodsanklai Fairtex, Buakaw Banchamek and Saenchai.[5]
In 2011, the King of Thailand Bhumibol Adulyadej (King Rama IX) started supporting the Thai Fight events and founded the Thai Fight King’s Cup Tournament.[6] The winners are awarded the King’s Cup and a 1,000,000 Thai baht cash prize.[7] The annual Thai Fight: King of Muay Thai tournament awards the finalist a grand prize of 2,000,000 baht and an Isuzu pickup truck.[8]
History
[edit]Creation
[edit]Thai Fight Co. Ltd. was founded by former film and television director Nopporn Wartin. His vision of spreading Thai culture and Thai traditions eventually led to the birth of the “Thai Fight” brand. Muay Thai being the national sport of Thailand, Wartin chose to use it as a platform to spread his vision to the rest of the world. The first Thai Fight event was hosted on August 29, 2010.[9] Thai Fight fully embraces Thai cultural values and uniquely reflects Thai cultural identity.[4]
Business
[edit]The Thai Fight office is located in the Wang Thonglang District of Bangkok.
After its founding in 2009, the company went on to host its first Thai Fight: King of Muay Thai tournament on August 29, 2010. Notable fighters who participated included Fabio Pinca, Youssef Boughanem, Liam Harrison and Vitaly Gurkov. The tournament concluded on December 6, 2010, with Pinca emerging as the first-ever Thai Fight champion.
In 2011, the promotion rose to further popularity with its signing of former K-1 World MAX champion and superstar Buakaw Banchamek, who would go on to win two Thai Fight tournaments in 2011 and 2012. However, he was engaged in a dispute with his gym at the time: Por. Pramuk. Buakaw appeared on THAI FIGHT Extreme 2012: Pattaya without the gym's approval, leading to them suing both him and Thai Fight. This resulted in Buakaw announcing his retirement from Muay Thai. Thai Fight would file a countersuit against Por. Pramuk, which eventually led to an agreement between all parties with withdraw all lawsuits.[10][11] Buakaw fought on Thai Fight for the final time at Thai Fight 2012 on December 16, 2012, defeating Vitaly Gurkov to win the 70 kg King's Cup Tournament Championship.[12]
Thai Fight held its first overseas event on May 14, 2011, with THAI FIGHT Extreme 2011: France in Cannes, France. In 2011, three of six Thai Fight events (titled THAI FIGHT Extreme) were held outside of Thailand, with the other two events taking place in Hong Kong and Japan. In 2012, Thai Fight also held two international events (also titled THAI FIGHT Extreme) in England and France. Between 2011 and 2013, ten THAI FIGHT Extreme events were hosted, five of which were held in foreign countries.
Thai Fight returned to hosting overseas events in 2014 (titled THAI FIGHT World Battle), visiting Macau and Vietnam. In 2015, the promotion held events (now titled THAI FIGHT Proud to Be Thai) in China, Russia and Vietnam. The promotion regularly hosts events internationally, in countries such as: Russia, Italy, Spain, Japan, Cambodia, Vietnam, France and England.[13] However, there has not been an international event since 2018.
On November 25, 2017, Thai Fight held the historic KHMER THAI FIGHT event. The event was held to strengthen ties between Thailand and Cambodia.[14] Being held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, the event was unlike previous Thai Fight events due to the fact that it featured both Muay Thai and Kun Khmer matches, with the event pitting the Southeast Asian fighters against various foreign fighters.[15]
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Thai Fight held its first event behind closed doors in 11 years, with THAI FIGHT DMHTT at Siam Omnoi Stadium on April 25, 2021.[16]
Tourism
[edit]The promotion is run in conjunction with the Tourism Authority of Thailand and is aimed at promoting tourism in various provinces of the Kingdom of Thailand.[17]
Thai Fight Kard Chuek
[edit]In 2013, the promotion produced a reality television show where Thai Fight stars Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee and Saiyok Pumpanmuang coached a team of farang on the reality television series Thai Fight Kard Chuek, to be shown over between July and August 2013 on Thailand's Channel 3. Notable fighters who appeared on the series included Youssef Boughanem and Tun Tun Min (credited as Zaw Tum). On December 22, 2013, the two coaches faced each other in the Thai Fight Kard Chuek Final, where Sor Klinmee defeated Pumpanmuang by extension-round decision to claim the 6,000,000 baht grand prize.[18]
Thai Fight Kard Chuek also refers to the format of Muay Thai where fighters use rope bindings in place of gloves to pay homage to Muay boran, the historical form of the sport, with modern Muay Thai rules in place.[19][20] Since 2014, most fights in Thai Fight have been predominantly fought under Kard Chuek rules with few exceptions using gloves.
Thai Fight League
[edit]In April 2023, Thai Fight announced a new weekly program called Thai Fight League, which would feature upcoming Muay Thai fighters. The event would take place at Beat Active in BITEC Bangna. The inaugural event aired on May 7, 2023, on Channel 8 at 6:00 PM, featuring exclusively Kard Chuek fights.[21] Thai Fight League also served as the venue for the 32nd edition of the Isuzu Cup tournament, changing the tournament format from 5-round fights to 3-round fights as well.[citation needed]
Sponsorship
[edit]The brand Thailand Graphite Co. Ltd, Isuzu, Thai Beverage and the Tourism Authority of Thailand are sponsors of the promotion.[8]
Broadcasting
[edit]For almost a decade, Thai Fight's longtime television partner was Channel 3. In 2020, it was announced that Thai Fight had entered a partnership with Channel 8, joining Muay Thai programs Super Champ Muay Thai and Muay Hardcore. In 2022 was announced that Thai Fight had entered a partnership with 9 MCOT HD. As of December 2022, Thai Fight events are still broadcast on Channel 8.
| Broadcaster | Years |
|---|---|
| Channel 3 | 2010–2019 |
| Channel 8[22][23] | 2020–present |
| 9 MCOT HD | 2022–present |
Beginning in 2019, the Thai Fight official YouTube channel also began broadcasting events via the YouTube livestreaming function.
Rules
[edit]Match length
[edit]Thai Fight deviates from customary Muay Thai by hosting three-round matches, as opposed to five rounds. This is to prevent stalling and encourage more activity between fighters. Each fight consists of three rounds of three minutes with 2-minute rest periods between each round.
In the event of a draw after 3 rounds, a fourth extension round will be fought. If the fight is still tied after 4 rounds, a fifth round will be fought to determine a winner.
Judging
[edit]Fights can be won by decision, knockout or technical knockout. Three knockdowns will automatically result in a technical knockout.
In Thai Fight, knockdowns are scored differently from conventional Muay Thai and kickboxing. If a knockdown is scored, the dominant fighter will be awarded 10–9 round. In the event a fighter scores two knockdowns in the same round, the round will be scored 10–8 in favor of the dominant fighter. Otherwise, rounds are judged based on a fighter's aggression, striking volume and use of Muay Thai techniques.[24] In recent Thai Fight events, use of certain mae mai and luk mai techniques can earn a fighter performance-based cash bonuses.
Weight classes
[edit]While there are no official weight classes in Thai Fight, with superfights being held at varying weight classes, there are 4 titles across three weight classes during the Thai Fight King's Cup Tournament.
The inaugural Thai Fight tournament in 2010 saw fighters contesting for the 67 kg welterweight tournament title. The 2011 tournament saw the introduction of the 70 kg title. Up until 2013, the only tournament titles in Thai Fight were the 67 kg and 70 kg King's Cup Tournament. The 70 kg Kard Chuek title was first contested for in 2013. In 2014, the first Thai Fight 72.5 kg King's Cup Tournament was held. Thai Fight also held a one-time Heavyweight Tournament in 2012, where fighters weighing over 100 kilograms competed.

|---|---|
| Welterweight | 67 kg (148 lb) |
| Junior Middleweight | 70 kg (154 lb) |
