(PRESS RELEASE) -- In Sync Productions is kicking off its 87th World Championship MuayThai, which will take place in Hollywood Park Casino. The longest-standing promoter of Muay Thai in the U.S., In Sync Productions will present fourteen bouts, featuring American, Japanese, Filipino-American, Mexican, Russian, Armenian and other fighters. Also on the schedule are the championships on June 13th at Hollywood Park Casino, and July 25th at the Las Vegas Hilton.
The main event of the night will feature a Filipino-American fighter Romie Adanza and his Japanese counterpart Shinichiro “Samurai” Ohno, who commented: “Even though I am fighting away from home, I want to win so much more to show what a strong foundation a Japanese fighter has when it comes to Muay Thai”. Adanza, whose record shows 5 wins (2 KO) and 1 loss added: “I’ve been training really hard for the past few months, and, hopefully, it will show during the fight. I’d like to popularize Muay Thai in the Filipino community in a way that Manny Pacquiao spread out the love of boxing”.
