Chatchai Kratingdang, who will fight Mexican champion Christian Mijares on August 30, has arrived in Monterrey, Mexico.

Chatchai, a former light flyweight world champion, will challenge Mijres who holds a duo WBC-WBA super flyweight champion titles in a match at la Arena Monterrey in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico on Saturday August 30. The fight will be broadcasted to Thailand on Channel Seven Network on Sunday August 31 at 11.00 a.m. Thai time.

The Thai fighter arrived in Monterrey on August 27 at midnight local time with his manager Piyarat Wachirarattanawong. Chatchai was sleeping most of the time in the 36-hour flight. He was greeted at the airport with Mexican promoter Ignacio Huizar of KO Entertainment and a large group of the local journalists, before Huizar brought the boxer to check in at the hotel.

Chatchai Kratingdang, who is also referred to by his real name Chatchai Sasakul, told the local media that although he did not have much time for preparation and was tired by the long flight, he was confident that his experiences and the intense one-month training would enable him to claim the world champion titles.

Mihares has reportedly ended his training in preparation for the fight. The Mexican champion appeared to be well prepared, although his weight was over the weight class limit by 1.3 kilograms.
