Thailand’s Denkaosan Kaovichit may have a chance for another rematch against Japan’s Daiki Kameda whom he lost WBA flyweight belt to earlier, although the Thai boxer will first have to beat Filipino Rey Migreno in a match at the end of this month, says his promoter.

Niwat Laosuwannawat said although Denkaosan has lost his WBA title to Kameda last month, he is still at the second place of the WBA flyweight class and can exercise his right for a rematch, which Niwat plans to be held in Thailand at the end of this year.

However, he said such rematch is only possible if Denkaosan defeats PABA flyweight champion Migreno at an event in the Thai town of Uttaradit on March 26. Migreno claimed the PABA title in December last year when he knocked out Thailand’s Fonluang Sor Tanapinyo.

WBC president Jose Sulaiman says the judges in the much-anticipated WBC flyweight match of champion Koki Kameda of Japan and interim title holder Pongsaklek Wonjongkam of Thailand will be from the U.S. and Europe.

Sulaiman, currently staying in Thailand to receive an honorary degree from a Thai university, promised fairness of officials in the upcoming WBC flyweight match that will be held in Japan on March 27, despite earlier incidents involving members of the Kameda family. The judges, in particular, will be recruited from the US and Europe, and not from Asian countries, according to him.

The 79-year-old WBC chief also expressed that he wished to perform the match supervisor role but would have to assign a representative instead due to his age and health issues.

WBC president Jose Sulaiman has arrived in Thailand where he will be awarded an honorary doctorate degree from a local university.  

The 79-year-old WBC chief, who travelled to Bangkok with his son Fernando Sulaiman, was warmly received at Suvarnabhumi airport on February 25 by WBC governor Edward Thangarajah, Thai promoter Wirat Wachiraratanawong and his two WBC champions flyweight “interim” title holder Thai Pongsaklek Wonjongkam and stawweight Oleydong Sithsamerchai. 

Sulaiman will attend a degree awarding ceremony in Bangkok on March 1 for a doctoral degree in physical education and leisure from Bansomdejchaopraya Rajabhat University.

PABA minimumweight champion Kwanthai Sitmorseng of Thailand will defend his title in the Laotian capital Vientiane on April 27, says his promoter Niwat Laosuwannawat.

Niwat said the negotiation on Kwanthai’s PABA title defense on April 27 has been finalized and the Vientiane match will be sponsored by a number of Laotian businesses. It will be live broadcasted in both Laos and Thailand, according to the Thai promoter.

Niwat said the Laotian sport authorities asked him to continue arranging more boxing matches there, but he had not decided on the details. He is planning to hold a press conference in Vientiane on the subject soon.
