After dethroning straw World Boxing Council champion Wanheng Menayothin in November 2020, Panya Pradabsri will look to repeat that performance in their upcoming rematch, which has had to be rescheduled for March 29 at City Hall Ground in Nakhon Sawan, Thailand.
When both warriors fought, Menayothin was considered the best straw fighter in the world, standing out for having won 54 consecutive fights with twelve defenses of the WBC title. However, up in the ring Pradabsri did a better job and took the victory with identical judges’ scores of 115-113.
The fight was very close and was considered one of the best of 2020, so a rematch is desirable and necessary.
