M-150 will launch the “Million Fighting Spirits for Srisaket” campaign to show the power of Thais in supporting their champion. Their passion and enthusiasm will be reflected in Srisaket’s boxing attire, which will be created by accomplished designer “Moo Asava” as another way to support Srisaket in his quest to retain the championship title.
Mr. Surachart Pisitwuttinan, President of Nakornloung Boxing Promotion, said, “Matchroom Boxing USA and DAZN have announced the Thai champion will return to the ring to defend his two-time WBC 115-pound, super-flyweight championship for the fourth time against Mexican challenger Juan Francisco Estrada at the Forum in Los Angeles, California, on 26 April 2019 (the morning of 27 April 2019 for those in Thailand). Srisaket currently is laser-focused on preparing for the rematch at a training camp.” Mr. Surachart is confident that Srisaket will be able to defend his championship title against Estrada in their much-anticipated rematch.
Srisaket previously defended the title with a points win over Estrada in a stunning fight on 24 February 2018 in the United States. This result led to Srisaket receiving the 2018 “Round of The Year” award from the World Boxing Council (WBC) for Round 12 of the fight.
Mr. Sarun Ladawon, Head of M-150 Brand Building,said that M-150, the most popular energy drink among Thai consumers, is a major sponsor of Nakornloung Boxing Promotion and a strong supporter of Srisaket, who is an M-150 Brand Ambassador. The company is proud that he is once again representing the fighting spirit of Thais and is pleased to support him in his upcoming rematch which will captivate boxing fans around the world. M-150 also encourages Thai fans to continue showing their support and cheer for Srisaket, who never gives in to any obstacles, so he can once again make all Thais proud.
“Srisaket may be fighting abroad, but he feels like a strong contender, in part because of the overwhelming energy he draws from all Thais who support him, a local boxer, as he can channel the power of Thai people who are back home in addition to the Thais who are there to cheer for him in the arena. M-150 launched the ‘Million Fighting Spirits for Srisaket’ campaign to deliver the love and enthusiasm of Thais cheering for Srisaket in his fight, which is set to take place at the Forum in Los Angeles. Srisaket’s boxing apparel and robe will feature a roaring crowd, and fans can show their support by posting messages on M-150’s Facebook page, which we will collect. Some of the messages will be selected to pass on to notable designer Moo-Asava, who will design Srisaket’s apparel to reflect these cheers and the tremendous support of Thai fans, in anticipation of his victory in this long-awaited rematch,” said Mr. Ladawon.
Mr. Thainchai Pisitwuttinan, Manager of Foreign Affairs at Nakornloung Boxing Promotion, said, “This is a great opportunity to see Srisaket and Nakornloung Boxing Promotion working with our international partners, including the new sports streaming app DAZN, which is hugely popular with boxing fans as it recently signed a landmark deal with champion Canelo Alvarez and is also kicking-off groundbreaking partnerships with other notable boxers, and Matchroom Boxing, led by world-famous promoter Eddie Hearn, who is backing unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. We are confident that the partnership with DAZN and Matchroom Boxing will move Srisaket to the status of a superstar global boxer, and he will pave the way for other Thai boxers to achieve success on the world stage in the near future.”
WBC and Ring Magazine 115-pound super-flyweight champion Srisaket holds a professional record of 47 wins with 41 knockouts, one draw, and four losses. He said, “I want to thank M-150 and all of my fans out there for their continued support. I take all of my fights seriously because I’m representing Thailand. I will give this upcoming rematch against Estrada everything I have to win to make all Thais proud of me once again. I know what’s at stake, so I would appreciate if everyone continues to send their support and to cheer for me to win this important title match.”
