Champion Jaroengsuk Eyes Defense Against Former Titleholder
Rajdamnoen 118-pound champion Jaroengsuk Boonlannammvythai defends his title against former champion Pangtaw Lakbunkham on Saturday, seeking redemption after losing to him nearly two years ago.
Jaroengsuk Boonlannammvythai, the dominant Chiang Mai fighter and current Rajdamnoen 118-pound champion, will defend his title against Pangtaw Lakbunkham, a former champion and current interim title holder, at the RWS event on Saturday, August 29. In his last three fights, Jaroengsuk has been nearly impossible to catch, securing consecutive victories both by knockout and decisive decision to cement his status as a million-baht fighter, having already earned over 2 million baht in RWS bonuses excluding his fight purse. However, his next bout presents a formidable challenge, as Pangtaw is a former Rajdamnoen champion at both 115 and 118 pounds. The two fighters previously clashed nearly two years ago, with Pangtaw winning on points in that encounter—making this a redemption opportunity for Jaroengsuk, who now stakes his championship belt. The winner will immediately receive a 350,000-baht bonus from RWS, with the championship hanging in the balance on Saturday, August 29.
