Champion Tapaeng Glass Singhmaowin will defend his Rajadamnern 147-pound title against Irish star Niall McGreevy this Saturday, July 11, in the main event of an RWS promotion. McGreevy, standing 189 centimeters tall—14 centimeters taller than Tapaeng—arrives as a formidable challenger hoping to make history as the first Irish fighter to capture the prestigious Rajadamnern belt.
This bout marks one of the toughest challenges of Tapaeng's career as he pursues his fourth consecutive title defense. In his previous three defenses, Tapaeng delivered dominant performances and earned bonuses totaling as much as 1.5 million baht. However, McGreevy's significant height advantage makes this fight particularly demanding.
Tapaeng Glass remains unruffled by the challenge. He stressed that regardless of his opponent's height, as long as McGreevy makes weight at the 147-pound limit, he is ready to face anyone in the world. The champion confidently promised a knockout victory this Saturday, vowing to demonstrate his devastating knee strikes.
"I don't care how many centimeters taller Niall is," Tapaeng declared. "If he makes weight at 147 pounds, that's all that matters. I'm the champion and ready to face everyone in my division. This Saturday, I'll knock him out with these knees. No dancing around—just heavy, powerful shots every time."
The stage is set for an intriguing clash: Tapaeng's quest to set a new record for most title defenses in the 147-pound division against McGreevy's dream of becoming Ireland's first Rajadamnern champion. The winner will claim a 350,000 baht bonus along with retaining or claiming the belt. Don't miss this Saturday, July 11.
