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.
