Mr. Saw Htun Hla Baw – “Myanmar boxing team can raise their experiences in the Thailand Open”

Mr. Saw Htun Hla Baw is the General Secretary of the Myanmar Boxing Federation who is following the Thailand Open International Boxing Tournament in Bangkok from the venue. Mr. Saw Htun Hla Baw shared us his thoughts about the current running competition and Myanmar’s boxing life.
“The Thailand Open International Boxing Tournament is in world class level, the organizers did extremely great job, we don’t need to worry about the transportation and anything in Bangkok.
We are very happy to be here and the whole team is feeling comfortable in the Thailand Open International Boxing Tournament. We are proud of the fact that we are member of the Asian boxing family.
We could prepare three months with the team before the start of the Thailand Open International Boxing Tournament. We don’t expect too much this time, our main goal is to give international experiences to our new national team members.
Myo Kyaw Thu has got great potential, he is fighting at the welterweight (69kg) here in Bangkok. He has got good technique, strong and his stamina is also excellent but this is his first ever international competition.
Our last National Championships was held in September 2017 and we will be hosting the next edition in the same month soon after the Asian Games. We are planning to compete in more international competitions in the future to give chance to our boxers.
Our next meeting will be decided the participation in the Asian Games which will be held in August. We have got financial, technical and management issues in Myanmar but we are trying to work on them,” expressed Mr. Saw in the venue of the competition.
