Mr. Chaiwat Chotima shared with us his thoughts about the Thailand International Open Boxing Tournament and their strategic plans.
“The Thailand International Open Boxing Tournament is not an invitational competition anymore. We opened the participation for all of the countries of the world to reach the maximum number of competitors in the event.
Everything was running smoothly in the preparation for the Thailand International Open Boxing Tournament. Mr. Kraitach Kaewkate and his team were working hard for the success of the competition and they have got experiences how to make it.
Used to be our event was the King’s Cup which we call now Thailand International Open Boxing Tournament. We had an amazing ASBC Asian Confederation Youth Boxing Championships in Bangkok this April where the team claimed four gold medals which were over our expectations.
We are planning to host the first edition of the Thailand Open Women’s Boxing Tournament in the first period of 2019. Also we have got the plan to host next year’s Thailand Open Boxing Tournament between the continents. We are thinking about to host that as a team event with the best boxers of the world in 2019.
Our plan is to host the 2019 ASBC Asian Confederation Women’s Boxing Championships in Bangkok and we would like to follow our tradition to arrange big competitions in our country every year. We are focusing to host the 2020 Asian Olympic Qualification Event in Bangkok as our main long term strategy,“ said the General Secretary of the Thailand Boxing Association Mr. Chaiwat Chotima in the venue of the Thailand International Open Boxing Tournament.
