In addition to being undefeated with a perfect record of 28-0, Simon Marcus is
known for his brutal strength and excellent technique. In 2012 alone he has
added five dominant victories to his record. They include wins over legend
Kaoklai Kaennorsing, American powerhouse Joe Schilling (twice), as well as two
wins in China
where he fought two opponents in one night. Training out of Siam No. 1 in Toronto, Canada
under Ajahn Suchart, Marcus has quickly made his impact felt not only in the
North American Muay Thai scene, but world wide.
Sadibou Sy is expected to test the fast rising Simon Marcus. Born in Sweden but of West
African decent, Sy broke on the international scene at the age of 19 when he
won the Nordic Open Championship by spinning heel-kick knockout. He went on to
compete in the ISKA World Championships where he won 2 gold medals as well as
the championship award for most outstanding fighter of the tournament.
Know as “The Queen of Muay Thai” Julie Kitchen quickly became a fan favorite
amongst American Muay Thai fans. Always looking to push women’s Muay Thai to
the forefront, Kitchen has been an ambassador of the sport for years. As
beautiful as she is deadly, she will be looking to not only continue to impress
her fans but take home the win against her fellow UK native.
on the American Muay Thai scene, Amanda Kelly is ready to take advantage of her
opportunity. Facing a legend in Muay Thai like Julie Kitchen paired up with the
opportunity to gain new fans we should expect nothing but a tremendous effort
from Kelly as she takes on “The Queen of Muaythai”.
