Yangon, Myanmar- World Lethwei Championship (WLC), the world’s largest bareknuckle fighting organization, has announced the full fight card for WLC: FEARLESS TIGERS. The main event will feature Myanmar’s Thway Thit Win Hlaing taking on German-Thai Burutlek Petchyindee Academy.
WLC: FEARLESS TIGERS takes place on 4 October 2019 in Mandalar Thiri Indoor Stadium, Mandalay, Myanmar. The event will be broadcast LIVE on Canal+ in Myanmar (broadcast starts at 5.30 pm Myanmar time) and globally on UFC Fight Pass (broadcast starts 7 pm Myanmar time).
Thway Thit Win Hlaing is one of the winningest fighters in World Lethwei Championship. He has defeated Saw Ba Oo, Shwe Yar Mann and Shan Ko in the first three World Lethwei Championship events before taking a brief hiatus. He is now back in action and ready to conquer again with his precise style of counter striking.
Burutlek Petchyindee Academy made an instant impact in the world of lethwei when he knocked out former Light Welterweight Myanmar National Champion Kyaw Zin Latt with one powerful punch in his debut. That impressive performance has won him a date against Thway Thit Win Hlaing.
In the co-main event, Nicola Barke will face off against Bianka Balajti in a Women’s Light Welterweight clash. Both are highly touted and will be making their Lethwei debuts.
Other fights announced include Cambodia’s Thun Chantak going up against national lethwei champion Shuklaine Min and Omar Elouers from Morocco taking on Thway Thit Maung from Myanmar.
World Lethwei Championship Chairman U Zay Thiha stated, “WLC: FEARLESS TIGERS is one of the most stacked cards in World Lethwei Championship history. I can’t wait to see the debuts of the ultra-talented Nicola Barke and Bianka Balajti and in the main event, we have two of the best at Light Middleweight going up against each other. This is a night not to be missed!”
