This multi nation event kicks of its first of many Asian Fight Tours after its 3rd run of the Dynamite Naksoo Muaythai series was put on hold in the original location of Yogyakarta at the Majestic surrounds of Borobudor for his Majesty the King of Java. But it is highly likely the tour will return to Indonesia after the Dynamite Naksoo Muaythai Fight completes full circle moving from Country to Country through South East Asia with Singapore as well as other parts of Malaysia on the map for the Asia Fight Tour before it makes a bold move to incorporate a Northern Hemisphere alliance with France and finalise the talks with US Sanctioning bodies to establish Dynamite Naksoo Muaythai Fight – US Fight Tour - mid to late 2017.

NAKSOO MUAYTHAI FIGHT 3

The fight tour has been confirmed to promote Muay Thai Amateur and Professional International level Muay Thai in Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia.

And That’s a wrap for Dynamite NAKSOO MUAYTHAI FIGHT 2 – Road to Victory
What a massive lead up and finale for the Dynamite NAKSOO Promotions second event in Jakarta, Indonesia. It started with a few minor sanctioning hiccups but eventually with all the fumbles on the Indonesian Muay Thai Sanctioning body NAKSOO MUAYTHAI FIGHT Series manage to retain its name and reputation as one of Asia’s premium Muay Thai events outside of Thailand.
Post event Promoter Kru Dennis expressed this to the local media press conference when asked about the behind the scenes hiccups. This what Kru Dennis had to say;
“Look I am not sure what the politics within the Indonesian professional Muay Thai sanctioning body is all about, but we Dynamite Muay Thai and Dynamite Promotions event Dynamite NAKSOO MUAYTHAI FIGHT Series are definitely not involved and nor are we interested in the matter. We are purely in Jakarta, Indonesia to promote the art, culture and respect of Muay Thai to the world starting with Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and then back to Australia, our origin. Regarding all the politics right now, all I can say is thanks to the “respectable” chain of command within the professional Indonesian board of Muay Thai two weeks out from the event we suffered a major blow by the ban imposed only on NAKSOO MUAYTHAI FIGHT FOR Indonesia’s first 8 man super fight and 4 women elimination fight BANNING ALL FOREIGN fighters competing in the Professional Indonesian Muay Thai tournaments.” “That being said the same organisation spearheading this ban is the sanctioning body who approved our friends Siam Super Fight to host an international tournament. The same department who with 3 days out from the event finally approved the event.” Kru Dennis (Promoter NAKSOO MUAYTHAI FIGHT Australia)
