Boxer Phetwanchai Denies Match-Fixing and Drug Planting Allegations

Phetwanchai addresses the match-fixing allegations, admitting he and the boxer in question did discuss throwing a fight — saying "if you lose, you get hundreds of thousands" — but insists no actual hiring or payment occurred. Regarding the drug-planting claim, he says on the 13th he returned to camp after a break to collect his belongings for training (with a fight scheduled for the 24th). He bought medicine shown in a video clip for personal use, not to plant on a boxer, noting dangerous drugs require a doctor's prescription. He tried to contact Trainer Wichai to explain but received no reply.

2. Regarding the previous fight against Muhammad, where he was accused of throwing the bout: Phetwanchai explains he hadn't fought in a year, had only trained for about a month, and his fight was postponed twice. The camp lacked a trainer, so he and other boxers held pads for each other, leaving him unfit. He denies throwing the fight. His Phuket bout was just an amateur fight a week prior; he was contacted only three days before to replace someone, hadn't trained, but needed the money after two months without income.

3. He admits once taking a deposit from a boxing guru to throw a fight but didn't follow through, which likely sparked retaliation.

4. The Boxing Commission (KKT) has contacted him; he is willing to give a statement and awaits an appointment.

He stayed silent earlier due to threats and orders for associates to harm him and his family from a boxing guru, and comments revealing his parents' address. He didn't want those around him endangered, so he waited for the legal process. He has filed a daily log with police as evidence. Since the news hasn't ended, he speaks out to protect his rights. He warns anyone not from the media who uses his image to cause damage or chases likes will face legal action. He will let the legal process take its course.
