Matchroom to stream Rungvisai-Ruenroeng from Thailand on Aug. 1st
Matchroom Boxing will live stream the return of Thailand star Srisaket Sor Rungvisai a/k/a Wisaksil Wangek on Saturday, August 1st, ahead of its Fight Camp broadcast. The former WBC 115-pound champion returns against former IBF 112-pound champion Amnat Ruenroeng, also from Thailand. The ten-round contest will go out across Matchroom’s YouTube channel. Rungvisai, the former WBC 115-pound champion, boasts two impressive victories over Roman Gonzalez in recent years, plus two close fights against Juan Francisco Estrada which went one apiece. Ruenroeng, a former IBF World Champion looks to make it three wins on the bounce and put his name firmly back into title contention.
Promoter Eddie Hearn said: “As if August 1st couldn’t get any bigger with the launch of Matchroom Fight Camp, the return of former WBC super flyweight champion Rungvisai against former IBF 112-pound ruler Ruenroeng will now be shown live on the Matchroom YouTube channel. cIt’s a great little warm-up at 8.45 in the morning [British time] for what will be a very exciting day for the world of boxing. Next Saturday is all about the return of boxing. Fight fans will get a chance to watch a pound-for-pound star in Rungvisai before enjoying the opening night of Fight Camp. Juan Francisco Estrada [Rungvisai's conqueror] will fight Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez next, we’re in the process of trying to make that fight, probably for October time in America. The winner of that fight will face Sor Rungvisai providing he gets through on the 1st. It’s a great little run of fights for those three and the division itself. We’re so lucky to represent those three great fighters.”
