Boonmee Ready to Settle the Score in the Ring, Vows Not to Underestimate, Confident of Victory

May 19, 2569 — Following a social media drama that led to a revenge boxing match, Boonmee recently gave an interview about his readiness and emotional state before stepping into the ring. After just completing the weigh-in ceremony and facing off with his opponent, he acknowledged this is a revenge match, reiterating that he couldn't fight on the day of the incident because the other side had greater numbers and he feared weapons.

When asked whether today's fight constitutes revenge for the previous altercation, the man in black admitted frankly with a laugh, "Something like that." He also clarified a point that many people wondered about — he holds a taekwondo degree and possesses skills in that sport, but why didn't he retaliate or fight back on the day of the incident? He explained that the previous incident was entirely outside the realm of sport. "That day was completely outside sport," he stated. "If I had fought, it would have been like this: they had weapons and I didn't, they had more people than us. We came with just three people and drove into their territory, their zone. I didn't know what would have happened if we fought."

During the weigh-in confrontation, he remained cool and chose to save his emotions for the ring. When asked about the atmosphere during the weigh-in, Boonmee revealed he felt very calm and indifferent, experiencing no tension or pressure, and intended to settle everything on the ring alone.

Regarding social media criticism that he acts arrogantly or puts on airs, he denied it and explained: "People don't see me in a good light, think I'm arrogant or something, but I don't even understand where my arrogance is. I got punched, right? Should I come sit and wai him? That wouldn't be right. I'm just being myself. I'm not putting on any act or being arrogant at all."

He expressed confidence in his speed and vowed to take victory home. Regarding his readiness to fight, he stated he has trained sufficiently. Although his opponent has trained intensively for the past three weeks, he has no worries and will not be complacent whatsoever.

When asked to assess his opponent's form, Boonmee said, "Looking at it, he might be slower than me. I think I'm faster." He concluded confidently: "I should definitely get the win and go home today." As for whether he'll win by points or knockout, he indicated he has already thought about that possibility.
