Thai boxing champs to challenge Chinese boxers
Five Muay Thai boxing champions will challenge Chinese boxers at a kickboxing contest set for December 19 in Foshan, Guangdong Province.
In the list released by the Chinese Wushu Association (CWA) Wednesday, the boxers include Xu Jifu, Dong Wenfei, Liu Cengceng, Zhang Kaiyin and Zhang Maofu. They are in classes ranging from 60 kg to 80 kg and will participate in the contest and fight against a team of five Muay Thai boxers.
New rules giving players the green light to use knees and elbows to attack will put Chinese boxers in a disadvantageous position, as it is the strength of Muay Thai boxers, according to Chen Guorong, vice president of the CWA. He also added that the final list of boxers was a decision to make sure China chooses the right people.
