Z1 8TH Royal Cup MuayThai Championship
I’m all set to head out to Malaysia in December, to attend the eighth consecutive Z1 Royal Cup MuayThai Championship. It’s the longest running Muay Thai event in Malaysia, and I hope to get some behind the scenes access to fighters to discuss their training methods. I’ll be sure to share anything I learn with you all right here.
This WMC sanctioned event hosts 2 tournaments and 2 title fights over the course of 2-days, bringing together Muay Thai fighters from around the world. That’s a good mix for spectators, both singular title fights and the unpredictable tournament format too. Should be good to watch.
