Thailand vs. Canada Muay Thai Challenge
Celebrating 65 Years of Friendship Through Muay Thai
On Sunday, September 13th, the Canadian War Museum hosted what was arguably the greatest Muay Thai fight card in Canadian history—a truly unforgettable night.
The undercard delivered exceptional matchups between top Canadian athletes and our American neighbors. On the main card, five of Canada’s finest went toe-to-toe with world-class champions from Thailand.
An event of this magnitude requires immense collaboration, and we want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who made it possible:
