BUAKAW allowed to box again

On 2 July 2012, Mr. Dej Jaikla (the Director & Registrar of the Sports Authority of Thailand's Board of Boxing Sport), Mr. Nopparat Puttarattamamane (Thai Fight representative), Dr. Theppakorn Intharapat (Buakaw's lawyer), Mr. Wiwat Saengsuriya (Por Pramuk camp's lawyer) and Mr. Teeraphat Rojanathan (owner of Por Pramuk camp) met for arbitration at the Civil Court at Ratchadapisek.

After the arbitration meeting that lasted for almost 7 hours, the court decided to acquit all parties and ordered that Buakaw be allowed to box again. Buakaw will have to use 'Buakaw Por Pramuk' as his fight name, but is free to train on his own. 60% of fight earnings will go to Buakaw, & 40% to the camp. Income from all activities other than boxing will be divided 75:25 (75% to Buakaw, 25% to the camp).

As for the 6-month suspension imposed on Buakaw by the Registrar of the Board of Boxing Sport, the court decided that the Sports Authority of Thailand and the Board of Boxing Sport shall find a solution that will allow Buakaw to continue boxing after the court acquitted him.

Mr. Dej said that the court felt that Buakaw has brought fame to the nation and muaythai and is an asset to the country, and thus decided to acquit him in order to let him continue to fight and make a name for Thailand.
