Nguyễn Văn Hải is very likely the most experienced mixed fight form exponent in Vietnam.

Hai was a highly decorated amateur in younger days, having won multiple national titles and achieving medals at the SEA Games. In spite of those successes, the revered Hanoi legend has had precious few chances to box in recent years.

Hai was intent on embarking on a pro career back in 2019, and signed with VSP to pursue that ambition. The pandemic put the brakes on those plans, and unfortunately, Hai did not see any ring time until August of this year.

Nguyễn Văn Hải ventured to Manila to take on the rangy southpaw prospect Jerald Into, and despite incurring a points loss, it was a decent display for a boxer with lots of ring rust. The Vietnam fighter certainly showed many of the trademark moves of his amateur days, but his distance, timing and punch volume were below the required level.

This legend dubbed “ the Hanoi Hitman” will look to reverse that loss, and he will be determined to teach his whiz kid Indonesian rival some veteran tricks of the trade !

HAI TO MAKE A SPLASH ON JEJU ISLAND !
December 3, 2024

HAI TO MAKE A SPLASH ON JEJU ISLAND !

The "Hanoi Hitman" looks to close out 2024 in Korea next month - and he promises to do so in devastating fashion !
Hai is booked to fight former national champ Min Guk Ju - a southpaw boxer with 9 wins to his credit. 
The bout will take place on Jeju Island South Korea on December 15th. 

The Seoul based boxer is certainly an interesting opponent, and there are many question marks surrounding his chances in a fight with the Vietnam star.
Min Guk Ju has not fought since October of last year, yet his decision to take on a tough opponent like Nguyễn Văn Hải suggests that he is very confident of recapturing his very best form. 
It also speaks loudly of a boxer that is looking to fast track his world rankings.

Min Guk Ju was controversially beaten for the WBC Asia Continental title in China - a bout he lost narrowly on points despite knocking his opponent down in the contest. 
He was then stopped in Japan by the unbeaten Chihiro Iwashita - a real "hell fight" where at any moment, either boxer could get have dropped, and both were tasting moments of success.
Suffice to say - the Korean boxer is high calibre, and with vengeance on his mind, will be looking to make a statement with a victory over the classy Nguyễn Văn Hải. 

But the Hanoi Hitman has plans of his own !

"Boxing has been very good to me. I get to make new friends, and I am always excited to visit new parts of the world. I am very lucky !

This will be my first chance to visit Jeju Island in Korea - I heard it is a very beautiful place.
I have full respect to my opponent - he has been a champion, and he is looking to make his mark again in the game of boxing.

But this year will end badly for him. 
Hai plans to knock him out and deliver a beautiful gift to the people of Jeju Island. 
I'm looking for bigger fights in 2025, so I will be devastating with Min Guk Ju. 
No mercy !"

TWO YEARS AGO ALREADY !!
November 17, 2024

TWO YEARS AGO ALREADY !!

Bit of nostalgia here, but this FORTUNES OF WAR was an extremely fun event (despite the many dramas) and well worth revisiting. And you will see that there are lot's of familiar names on this historic fight card.

The Vietnam 🇻🇳 team was spearheaded by Dinh Hong Quân, a guy that had been on a winning run and was defending an IBF Title, but he was having lots of trouble with his weight in the lead up. He even collapsed at one stage and had to be resuscitated at one point !
We had top young prospects Lê Hoàng Hiep and Phan Minh Quân, who fought out of their skins against international pro boxers with more than 70 wins between them ! 
Nguyễn Văn Hải is obviously a legend on the local scene but had been inactive, so he was a bit of a "query" inclusion - yet he produced a memorable performance that culminated in two dramatic knockdowns.
But even more amazing was the debut of another Vietnam kid Thai Hoang Huy - this guy had never even boxed (he was a muay thai student that loved the idea of being a boxer !) And he went in with an opponent that had 14 knockouts in 15 wins - BIG BALLS !!
Suffice to say, the Vietnam 🇻🇳 team had a great experience and a lot of fun at this show - it was held at the beautiful Grand Ho Tram Resort in the coastal area of Vung Tau.

The visiting international team?
Well - some crazy talent on that side of the fence !

Philippines 🇵🇭 - Charly Suarez, Mark John Yap, Arnel Baconaje, Jetro Pabustan and Jon Jon Estrada. 
These guys share plaudits as multiple national and regional title holders, with the unbeaten Suarez currently on the precipice of a world title.

Indonesia 🇮🇩 - Paisal Panjaitan - a really top unbeaten prospect who is now #2 in his country.
Defry Palulu - an Indonesia #2 and WBC belt holder.

South Korea 🇰🇷 - Chan Ho Song - an unbeaten 12-0 guy with blazing hands and a World Youth champ.

Thailand 🇹🇭 - Anuson Thonglueang - a top youth prospect with only one loss in 14 bouts, and who currently sits at #2 rated Welterweight in Thailand. 

Thanks for making this FORTUNES OF WAR a very memorable event boys, you put on a thrilling and entertaining show for everyone that was lucky enough to be there to see it.
VSP wish you continued luck and enjoyment in your boxing adventures ahead.

PS. the main event between Dinh Hong Quân 🇭🇰 and Arnel Baconaje 🇵🇭 was watched by more than 2 million people online !

Following consecutive WBO and WBC title bid setbacks against undefeated, world-rated opponents, the man dubbed the "Hanoi Hitman" is poised for a big bounce back win. 
His upcoming challenge comes against a yet-to-be-named South Korean opponent, a former national titleholder that is looking for a big scalp to re establish his rankings.

Nhà vô địch IBA thế giới Trần Văn Thảo và lão tướng Nguyễn Văn Hải du đấu tại Hàn Quốc

Ba võ sĩ Trần Văn Thảo, Nguyễn Văn Hải và Đinh Hồng Quân sẽ cùng nhau tranh tài trước các đối thủ nước ngoài tại sự kiện quyền anh chuyên nghiệp diễn ra ở Incheon, Hàn Quốc.
Cụ thể, sự kiện mà ba võ sĩ Việt Nam sẽ tham gia tranh tài là sự kiện do Cocky Buffalo tổ chức với tâm điểm là ba trận đấu tranh đai và bảo vệ đai vô địch.
Cuộc đối đầu chính của sự kiện là trận bảo vệ đai vô địch WBO Global hạng cân Minimumweight của nhà vô địch người Trung Quốc Dianxing Zhu (11-1, 10 KOs) trước đại diện đến từ Philippines Richard Garde (8-1, 7 KOs). Trước đó, tại sự kiện quyền Anh WBO Global Title Match diễn ra ở Bà Rịa Vũng Tàu tháng 11 vừa qua, nhà vô địch người Trung Quốc đã bảo vệ thành chiếc đai vô địch của mình khi đánh bại võ sĩ thách đấu từ Thái Lan Sanchai Yotboon.
Hai trận đấu tâm điểm khác của sự kiện là các cuộc so tài cho chiếc đai vô địch WBO Oriental giữa Olimjon Nazarov (28-5, 15 KOs) vs. Wulan Tuoleazi (15-5-2, 7 KOs) ở hạng cân Flyweight và Takahiro Tai (4-1, 4 KOs) vs. Lap Cheong Cheong (10-0, 4 KOs) ở hạng cân Super Flyweight.
Đặc biệt, sự kiện quyền anh chuyên nghiệp diễn ra tại Incheon, Hàn Quốc lần này thu hút được sự quan tâm lớn của người hâm mộ đến từ Việt Nam bởi sự tham gia của các võ sĩ Nguyễn Văn Hải, Trần Văn Thảo và Đinh Hồng Quân.

Lão tướng Nguyễn Văn Hải đang có một năm hoạt động tích cực khi liên tiếp tham gia các sự kiện quyền anh lớn nhỏ cả trong nước lẫn quốc tế. Lần gần nhất thượng đài tại sự kiện boxing quốc tế WBO Global Prelude, lão tướng của Việt Nam chỉ mất chưa tới 12 giây để hạ gục võ sĩ người Bangladesh Abdul Motalib.
Mặt khác, nhà vô địch IBA thế giới Trần Văn Thảo cũng không hề kém cạnh người đàn anh khi đã có một năm 2023 thành công. Trần Văn Thảo đã đánh bại võ sĩ người Mexico giàu kinh nghiệm Kenbun Torres trong lần tái xuất ở sự kiện quyền Anh WBO Global Title Match để nâng thành tích chuyên nghiệp của mình lên con số 16-1 ấn tượng.

HANOI "HITMAN" IN KOREA "MEGA FIGHT"
December 9, 2023

HANOI "HITMAN" IN KOREA "MEGA FIGHT"

Vietnam's #1 boxer Nguyễn Văn Hải has shot up the rankings since going pro, so fast in fact, that he has been offered a fight in Korea next month against a world class opponent. 
A multiple national champion in the amateurs, Nguyễn Văn Hải has won 5 of 6 since going pro - and has been extremely impressive since doing so.
The lone blemish for the VSP boxer was a loss to star Philippines lightweight Jerald Into, an unbeaten 9-0 southpaw who Hải faced after more than two years out of the ring. 
Nguyễn Văn Hải caused a media sensation at his most recent performance, knocking out an unbeaten foreign boxer with his very first punch. Bangladesh boxer Abdul Mottalib was the victim of an overhand right, and suffered his first loss in 9 fights at the hands of the ruthless Vietnam champion. 
The "Hanoi Hitman" will star for Vietnam 🇻🇳 at a huge international event to be held at the Paradise City Casino on January 13th, with news on his opponent and fight card coming soon. 
Nguyễn Văn Hải will be in Ho Chi Minh City on December 23rd, where he will perform a 6 round exhibition at VSP PRO in preparation for the big match in Korea.
More updates coming soon.

Nguyễn Văn Hải is currently ranked pound for pound #1 in Vietnam, and it is expected that he will take on a world ranked opponent at the Paradise City Hotel and Casino in Incheon next month.
It is always a treat to see this Vietnam legend fight live, and it's a major coup for VSP PRO 11 to host an exhibition bout for the Hitman Hải on Saturday December 23rd. 
And for those who have not been lucky enough to have experienced it before - a word of advice.
Do not miss your chance to see this Vietnam champion in the flesh !

And of special interest to boxing fans will be the return to Vietnam of Moabi Ngaka (pictured) - a recent winner at the Ho Tram RUMBLE in Vung Tau. 
Moabi is a former youth champ in his native Botswana, and it's likely that he will perform a 6 round spar with Vietnam legend Nguyễn Văn Hải (who is a heavier weight class boxer)
Both fighters will use the VSP PRO show as a much needed "hit out" before heading to Korea for big fights at Paradise City on January 13th.

The Hanoi Hitman Nguyễn Văn Hải has looked unstoppable in 2023, and he isn't finished just yet !

His most recent performance at the Grand Ho Tram was simply devastating, scoring a first punch knockout of the unbeaten 6-0 Abdul Mottalib.

His run of good form has attracted the attention of South Korean promoters, who want to test the Vietnam boxer against their own this coming October.

Nguyễn Văn Hải previously visited South Korea in 2018, when he impressively won an exhibition event in Seoul.

"The Korean boxers are always in great condition and are very brave. They have a big heart. It is an honour to fight them".

NGUYỄN VĂN HẢI 12 SECONDS KNOCKOUT

*story courtesy VN Express

It took former national boxing champion Nguyen Van Hai just 12 seconds to take down the on-form Abdul Motalib of Bangladesh at the international boxing event WBO Global Prelude.

Before the lightweight (61 kg) fight on Saturday night, Mottalib was in great form with five consecutive wins, including two victories by knockout. Hai, who has won the national championship for 14 consecutive times, also had five wins in six professional fights.

At the official weigh-in before the fight in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province that borders HCMC, Mottalib tried to provoke Hai by standing in front of him and blocking his view during the press conference. But Hai kept his composure.

There was not much to say about the fight as 12 seconds in, Hai threw a powerful and staggering right hook that immediately floored Motalib. The referee stopped the fight and gave a knockout win to Hai. This is his third knockout win after seven professional fights.

VIETNAM MEETS BANGLADESH !!

Nguyễn Văn Hải đối đầu võ sĩ bí ẩn tại sự kiện Boxing nhà nghề WBO Global Prelude

Liên tiếp thượng đài để hướng tới mục tiêu tranh đai, Nguyễn Văn Hải sẽ chạm trán một đối thủ đặc biệt ít thông tin ở trận đấu tại WBO Global Prelude sắp tới.

Theo lịch trình đã được công bố, tay đấm Nguyễn Văn Hải sẽ có trận đấu chuyên nghiệp thứ ba trong năm 2023 ở sự kiện WBO Global Prelude vào ngày 16 tháng 7. Tại đây, anh sẽ chạm trán võ sĩ người Bangladesh - Abdul Mottalib, trận đấu diễn ra trong vòng 8 hiệp ở hạng cân 61kg.

Về cơ bản, Abdul Mottalib không được đánh giá quá cao so với Nguyễn Văn Hải khi võ sĩ này chỉ xếp hạng 1022 thế giới, kém xa so với cấp độ 2 sao cùng vị trí 152 thế giới của Nguyễn Văn Hải. Thành tích 5 trận toàn thắng của Mottalib cũng đều diễn ra tại quê nhà Bangladesh khi anh chưa đối đầu tay đấm nào thực sự đáng chú ý. Trái lại, những thông tin ít ỏi cũng tạo ra phần nào khó khăn trong việc tìm hiểu về đối thủ của Văn Hải.

Dù vậy, đối với Nguyễn Văn Hải, đây vẫn là một trận đấu quan trọng nếu anh muốn đạt đủ điều kiện tham gia một trận tranh đai khu vực, đó chính là có được chuỗi thắng liên tiếp trong thời gian sớm nhất.

Sau hai chiến thắng khá dễ dàng trước Paisal Panjaitan tại Fortunes of War (12/2022) và Hà Minh Tuấn tại VSP Pro 3 (3/2023), Nguyễn Văn Hải đã đánh bại đối thủ người Trung Quốc - Tô Tiểu Đào trong sự kiện hồi tháng 4 tại Hồ Tràm, Vũng Tàu. Chiến thắng trước tay đấm từng giành dan hiệu IBO-WBO Phương Đông đã giúp Nguyễn Văn Hải nhảy vọt trên bảng xếp hạng thế giới, mở đường cho cơ hội tranh đai.

Trong trận đấu kéo dài 8 hiệp tại WBO Global Prelude, Nguyễn Văn Hải sẽ phải tìm ra lối đánh của Abdul Mottalib, đưa ra đấu pháp thích hợp và đặc biệt là đảm bảo an toàn tối đa cho bản thân, để có thể chuẩn bị phong độ tốt nhất cho những mục tiêu cuối năm.

Bên cạnh trận đấu giữa Nguyễn Văn Hải và Abdul Mottalib, tại WBO Global Prelude, võ sĩ Sẳm Minh Phát của Việt Nam sẽ xuất hiện trong trận đấu chính của sự kiện ngày 16 tháng 7 tới đây, khi anh đối đầu với võ sĩ người Trung Quốc DianXing Zhu. Dựa trên kế hoạch được công bố, Minh Phát và DianXing Zhu sẽ đối đầu ở hạng cân light-flyweight (49kg) để giành suất tranh danh hiệu WBO Global.

This will be the third appearance for the Vietnam legend, and after two previous wins against strong fighters, he is optimistic about his chances.

"Hải thinks three is a lucky number !

My opponent is unbeaten, and I look forward to the challenge. But I believe in my power, and it is my plan to go for the kill !"

Mark John Yap will also be of big interest on this card, as will former Philippines visitor Junior Kauko Raka, who ironically faced Yap at very short notice in late 2022.

Some great fights are planned for this event in Ho Tram Vietnam on Saturday July 15th.

Nguyễn Văn Hải thắng cao thủ Trung Quốc

Nguyễn Văn Hải thắng cao thủ Trung Quốc

BÀ RỊA - VŨNG TÀU

Võ sĩ Nguyễn Văn Hải bất ngờ thắng cao thủ Trung Quốc Su Xiao Tao bằng điểm trọng tài tại sự kiện quyền Anh quốc tế WBO Chapter 3.

Màn so găng giữa Văn Hải với Su ở hạng Light Weight được quan tâm nhất trong loạt sáu trận của sự kiện quyền Anh quốc tế tại The Grand Ho Tram Strip tối 22/4.

Văn Hải từng sáu lần vô địch quốc gia, nhưng vẫn bị đánh giá thấp hơn Su - tay đấm nổi tiếng của Trung Quốc từng giữ hai đai vô địch IBO Châu Á Thái Bình Dương và đai WBO Châu Á hạng cân Super Featherweight. Võ sĩ Trung Quốc cũng dày dạn kinh nghiệm hơn khi thắng 11 trong 13 trận chuyên nghiệp, trong đó có 6 trận thắng bằng knock-out. Văn Hải mới có bốn chiến thắng, trong đó có một bằng knock-out, qua 5 trận chuyên nghiệp.

Hai võ sĩ đều nhập cuộc thận trọng và chỉ tung ra các pha tấn công thăm dò. Văn Hải chủ động hơn trong di chuyển cũng như tung ra những đòn đấm thẳng. Phải đến cuối hiệp một, hai võ sĩ mới có một số pha ra đòn đáng chú ý.

Sang hiệp hai, Văn Hải tung ra những đòn móc sở trường rất nặng. Đáp trả lại, Su thể hiện đẳng cấp bằng một combo đòn nhuần nhuyễn và hiệu quả vào người đối thủ. Võ sĩ người Trung Quốc chủ động di chuyển áp sát, nhưng sớm phải nhận liên tiếp những pha trả đòn rất nặng vào đầu từ Văn Hải.

Với kinh nghiệm từng giúp bản thân giành hai đai vô địch châu Á, Su liên tục dồn ép Văn Hải vào dây đài. Sang hiệp ba, võ sĩ Trung Quốc ra một đòn đấm nặng trúng đầu, khiến Văn Hải choáng váng. Thế trận sau đó trở nên khá cân bằng và nặng tính chiến thuật.

Bước vào hiệp bốn, Su liên tiếp ra đòn tốc độ, nhưng Văn Hải di chuyển tốt, tránh được hầu hết các đòn thế từ đối phương. Dù vậy, võ sĩ của Trung Quốc vẫn tỏ ra nhỉnh hơn trong hiệp đấu này nhờ lối đánh khôn ngoan và kinh nghiệm.

Ở các hiệp đấu tiếp theo, Su vẫn giữ thế chủ động để gây sức ép. Nhưng dưới sự cổ vũ cuồng nhiệt của khán giả nhà, Văn Hải lên tinh thần, phản đồn mạnh mẽ với một loạt cú đấm chất lượng trong hiệp bảy. Võ sĩ Việt Nam giữ đà này để chơi tốt ở hiệp cuối, và được xử thắng bằng điểm trọng tài hai trong ba trọng tài chấm Văn Hải.

Bên cạnh chiến thắng của Văn Hải, võ sĩ 26 tuổi Phạm Hữu Thương cũng có màn trình diễn ấn tượng trước đối thủ Trung Quốc Zeng Yujie ở hạng Super Flyweight. Trước trận đấu này, Hữu Thương bị đánh giá thấp hơn khi Zeng có gần 30 trận chuyên nghiệp, trong đó có 11 chiến thắng và ba trong số đó là thắng knock-out.

Võ sĩ Việt Nam nhập cuộc tự tin, tận dụng ưu thế về sải tay và chiều cao để tung ra những đòn đấm thẳng rất tốt. Ngược lại, Zengh phòng thủ rất chặt chẽ và có được một số đòn móc trái phản công khá lợi hại. Hai võ sĩ liên tục phô diễn kỹ thuật bằng những đòn tấn công đa dạng suốt trận so tài. Chung cuộc, trọng tài chấm điểm hòa cho cả hai võ sĩ.

Ở trận đấu khác, Song Chan Ho (Hàn Quốc) thắng knock-out Min Saeng Bak (Thái Lan) sau năm hiệp ở hạng Super Lightweight. Võ sĩ 17 tuổi mang hai dòng máu Việt Nam và Hàn Quốc Lee Ju Yeong (mẹ là người Việt) thua knock-out trước Bayarkhuu Ganbaatar (Mông Cổ) trong hiệp đầu.

Kim Gun (Hàn Quốc) thắng điểm Tenorio Romeo (Philippines) sau sáu hiệp. Một đại diện khác đến từ lò Cocky Buffalo, Mikhail Lesnikov (Nga) thắng điểm trước đối thủ người Trung Quốc Zhang Xian Hai.

NGUYỄN VĂN HẢI MAKES WEIGHT AT HO TRAM

VSP champ Nguyễn Văn Hải had no troubles making today's "catchweight" for tomorrow's big event in Vung Tau.

Nguyễn Văn Hải 60.2kg was just slightly in advance of opponent Xiao Tao Su 60.1kg for at the weigh-in for their 10 round clash tomorrow.

Former national champion Hải (4-1) will have his hands full with his more credentialed Chinese rival (11-2) and a two times regional belt winner.

VSP BOY TAKES ON THE MIGHT OF CHINA

VSP strong man Nguyễn Văn Hải "the Hanoi Hitman" takes on China's rising star Xiao Tao "the Sadist" Su next Saturday at Ho Tram Vietnam.

Despite the greater experience of his Chinese rival (11-2), Nguyễn Văn Hải was upbeat :

"Every opportunity to fight is a blessing for me. I like to show my skills, and now that I am learning the differences of professional boxing, I also like to show my power.

I have had many fights in different sports, also in amateur boxing. I know to respect all opponents, because they have trained hard to win also. But I also know how to be ruthless, and the China fighter will find out next Saturday what it feels like to face a Vietnam fighter. I wish him good luck! "

HITMAN VOWS TO PUNISH CHINESE RIVAL
April 14, 2023

HITMAN VOWS TO PUNISH CHINESE RIVAL

Nguyễn Văn Hải is revered as perhaps the most experienced multi discipline fighter in Vietnam  - but he also lays claims to being pound for pound the strongest !

A man with a passion for physical fitness, Nguyễn Văn Hải went for close to three years without a boxing match, all the time training young pupils in Hanoi in various fight techniques. But a return to the ring last year in Manila against Jerald Into rekindled his love for the sport, and he has since scored two impressive pro wins.

VSP Boxing star Hải will be fighting the main undercard bout  in Ho Tram Vietnam next weekend,  and will be joined by young Philippines prospect Romeo "Yong" Tenorio, who gets his first taste of competition on foreign soil.

Nguyễn Văn Hải (4-1) takes on resuming top Chinese prospect Xiao Tao Su (11-2) over 8 rounds in what should be a thriller.

Asked his feelings on the bout, Hải was very enthusiastic:

" I am very excited to be able to do what I love once more. Each match for me is a gift.

I respect all opponents, but I plan to give him a welcome to Vietnam that the fans will love !

I know I will hurt him and plan to finish him "

HO TRAM VIETNAM BOUTS THIS APRIL 22

Philippines boxer Romeo Tenorio is rumoured to fight in Vietnam this month, with a bout against South Korean Gun Kim in the offing. The match will be in the 115 lb class, and will be Tenorio's first since October last year, when he beat Julias Bala by unanimous decision. Gun Kim is a fighter of promise, with a 2 win 1 loss career record.

Vietnam's most experienced fighter Nguyễn Văn Hải is set to take on China's Yongcai Liu in the Lightweight 61kg category.

The VSP Boxing star from Hanoi has won 4 bouts since turning professional, and is hoping a win against his Chinese opponent will fast track him in the rankings.

Yongcai Liu is a winner of 6 fights, but has not been active since the pandemic,  so it will be interesting to see what level he is at. The Chinese boxer showed a lot of ability earlier in his career, where Top Rank sponsored him to go to America and learn with their boxers and training staff.

The match will be over 8 rounds and will be the main undercard at The Grand Ho Tram on Saturday April 22nd.

Here is Nguyễn Văn Hải's last fight at Ho Tram in December 2022, where he knocked out unbeaten Indonesian Paisal Panjaitan.

Nguyễn Văn Hải thắng điểm

63,5kg: Nguyễn Văn Hải thắng bằng tính điểm đồng thuận trước Hà Minh TuấnTrận so găng thú vị giữa những tay đấm ở hai thế hệ. Nguyễn Văn Hải là tay đấm cựu trào từng vô địch quốc gia nhiều năm và giành huy chương quốc tế. Còn Hà Minh Tuấn đến từ Hanoi Boxing Academy từng giành HCB giải các CLB, HCV giải trẻ và thắng 1 trận ở sự kiện VSP Pro.Trận đấu này rất được chờ đợi nhưng thực tế trên ring Văn Hải đã nhanh chóng tỏ rõ bản lĩnh kinh nghiệm dày dạn và sức nặng cú đấm vượt trội đàn em. Một đòn đấm vòng tay phải uy lực của Văn Hải và serie đòn ngay sau đó tưởng như đã kết liễu trận đấu ngay trong hiệp 1.Cũng phải dành cho Minh Tuấn lời khen khi tay đấm trẻ từ Hà Nội đã trụ vững thêm 2 hiệp đấu dù bị đàn anh dồn ép và liên tục hứng đòn từ những cú móc, jab và body-shot như búa bổ của Văn Hải. Bước sang hiệp cuối cùng, Minh Tuấn có thêm 2 tình huống jab và đấm vòng ấn tượng, nhưng sự chênh lệch vẫn nghiêng hẳn về Văn Hải.Chiến thắng bằng tính điểm đồng thuận cho tay đấm 35 tuổi Văn Hải. Theo tiết lộ ở cuộc phỏng vấn sau trận, Văn Hải sẽ nỗ lực tập luyện để chuẩn bị cho 1 trận tranh đai vô địch vào cuối năm nay.

Nguyễn Văn Hải: A Real "Hit" at VSP PRO

Vietnam has recently seen the emergence of some great fighters, and Nguyen Van Hai is undoubtedly one of the greatest among them. The "Hanoi Hitman" is set to grace the ring once again, this time at VSP PRO #3 in HCMC. Fans are eagerly waiting for his showdown with promising young northern boxer Ha Minh Tuan, who has already made a mark with an impressive debut win in February at VSP PRO #2.

Nguyen Van Hai is a force to be reckoned with, and his appearance at Fortunes of War in Ho Tram last December was a testament to that fact. In a dominating performance, stopping unbeaten Indonesian prospect Paisal Panjaitan.

It's not just his impressive win record that makes him stand out, but his boxing skills and style that sets him apart from the rest. He has a deadly combination of speed, agility, and power that make him a dangerous opponent for anyone who dares to face him in the ring.

His upcoming bout at VSP PRO is a testament to his dedication and hard work. Fans are eagerly waiting to see him in action once again, and with his impressive track record, it's hard not to feel excited.

Nguyen Van Hai is a true icon in the world of Vietnamese boxing, and his legacy will undoubtedly continue for many years to come.

PHẠM BÁ HỢI MAKES FIGHTING AN ART FORM

Pham Ba Hoi is without doubt one of Vietnam's best technicians in the sport of Kick Boxing. 
A 7 times National Champion, the 28 year old crowned those multiple achievements with a SEA Games gold medal at the 2019 tournament held in Manila.
And if you're a Kick boxer, and you want to try boxing, surely it requires only half the effort ?
Well, that works in theory. 
But here is the reality.
This Saturday night, Pham Ba Hoi makes his debut as a professional boxer against Duong Duc Bao, a 20 year old southpaw who looked outstanding when winning by knockout at his own debut. 
Duc Bao, despite his inexperience, looks a top prospect in the making, and the confidence he showed in his win was impossible to miss.This kid is no pushover, and will not be overawed by the reputation of the older Pham Ba Hoi. 
This is a cracking bout between two future stars.
It's the main event and is very likely the fight of the night !

19 year old Huynh Doan Tuan Thanh was impressive at debut last August, winning a unanimous decision over a super fit Ho Minh Chieu.
Tuan showed a lot of attributes in that bout, most especially, changing stance and approach angle to confuse and open up attacks on his opponent. 
This Saturday night presents the improving Vung Tau switch hitter with an even bigger challenge. He meets Nguyen Van Tinh Em, a medalist in both youth and open championships. Despite his accomplishments, Tinh Em is only 17 years of age, and is the youngest competitor at VSP PRO 11.
Both these boys are going to have big upside in the future, and this bout shapes as one of the best fights of the night this Saturday. 

VSP PRO 11 live from VSP Gym this Saturday night. Admission is free but seating is limited, so please arrive early. First bout at 5.30pm.

DƯƠNG ĐỨC BẢO IS YOUR "MAIN" MAN !!

A sensational boxing debut in October by Duong Duc Bao had plenty of people asking to see more - and more you shall see. 
To say Bao was impressive in his first fight is an understatement. 
He totally dominated a far more experienced boxer, and forced the stoppage. The 20 year old produced volume, power punches and created some nice angles off a southpaw stance. It was literally an overwhelming performance. 
But matching fighters can be a difficult game.
A 7 times national kickboxing champion and 2019 Sea Games gold medalist named Pham Ba Hoi wants to debut as a pro boxer. 
But hey, who the hell would want to fight a guy with this sort of resume ?

Duong Duc Bao - that's who !
Ladies and gentlemen, grab your popcorn, this is our main event. ENJOY !

Nhà vô địch IBA thế giới Trần Văn Thảo và lão tướng Nguyễn Văn Hải du đấu tại Hàn Quốc

Ba võ sĩ Trần Văn Thảo, Nguyễn Văn Hải và Đinh Hồng Quân sẽ cùng nhau tranh tài trước các đối thủ nước ngoài tại sự kiện quyền anh chuyên nghiệp diễn ra ở Incheon, Hàn Quốc.
Cụ thể, sự kiện mà ba võ sĩ Việt Nam sẽ tham gia tranh tài là sự kiện do Cocky Buffalo tổ chức với tâm điểm là ba trận đấu tranh đai và bảo vệ đai vô địch.
Cuộc đối đầu chính của sự kiện là trận bảo vệ đai vô địch WBO Global hạng cân Minimumweight của nhà vô địch người Trung Quốc Dianxing Zhu (11-1, 10 KOs) trước đại diện đến từ Philippines Richard Garde (8-1, 7 KOs). Trước đó, tại sự kiện quyền Anh WBO Global Title Match diễn ra ở Bà Rịa Vũng Tàu tháng 11 vừa qua, nhà vô địch người Trung Quốc đã bảo vệ thành chiếc đai vô địch của mình khi đánh bại võ sĩ thách đấu từ Thái Lan Sanchai Yotboon.
Hai trận đấu tâm điểm khác của sự kiện là các cuộc so tài cho chiếc đai vô địch WBO Oriental giữa Olimjon Nazarov (28-5, 15 KOs) vs. Wulan Tuoleazi (15-5-2, 7 KOs) ở hạng cân Flyweight và Takahiro Tai (4-1, 4 KOs) vs. Lap Cheong Cheong (10-0, 4 KOs) ở hạng cân Super Flyweight.
Đặc biệt, sự kiện quyền anh chuyên nghiệp diễn ra tại Incheon, Hàn Quốc lần này thu hút được sự quan tâm lớn của người hâm mộ đến từ Việt Nam bởi sự tham gia của các võ sĩ Nguyễn Văn Hải, Trần Văn Thảo và Đinh Hồng Quân.

Lão tướng Nguyễn Văn Hải đang có một năm hoạt động tích cực khi liên tiếp tham gia các sự kiện quyền anh lớn nhỏ cả trong nước lẫn quốc tế. Lần gần nhất thượng đài tại sự kiện boxing quốc tế WBO Global Prelude, lão tướng của Việt Nam chỉ mất chưa tới 12 giây để hạ gục võ sĩ người Bangladesh Abdul Motalib.
Mặt khác, nhà vô địch IBA thế giới Trần Văn Thảo cũng không hề kém cạnh người đàn anh khi đã có một năm 2023 thành công. Trần Văn Thảo đã đánh bại võ sĩ người Mexico giàu kinh nghiệm Kenbun Torres trong lần tái xuất ở sự kiện quyền Anh WBO Global Title Match để nâng thành tích chuyên nghiệp của mình lên con số 16-1 ấn tượng.

THE WOLVERINE IS GUNNING FOR DISASTER
December 16, 2023

THE WOLVERINE IS GUNNING FOR DISASTER

 This is set to be THE fight of the day - JonJon "the Wolverine" Estrada going toe to toe with the man aptly named "Disaster" - Jhon Gemino.
Gemino certainly ranks as one of the most fearless and offensive pinoy fighters of recent years, and this rambunctious pugilist has enhanced a reputation of taking on all comers. 
But Estrada has enhanced a cult like status of his own - his stalking, predatory stance combined with almost neanderthal like brush strokes - but when he hits, they stay hit ! 
And it's because of this penchant for violence and emphatic finishes that the Wolverine will always be compelling viewing - 17 wins, and yet the judges were only required 3 times. 
Gemino certainly has the boxing pedigree in this contest, and has plenty of pop to keep Estrada on notice. 
And he only needs to hold the Wolverine on a tight leash for 6 rounds.

But those 6 rounds will seem like an ETERNITY!
Great fight !

GENESIS SERVANIA HITS KOREA JAN 13TH

GENESIS SERVANIA HITS KOREA JAN 13TH

Paradise City Casino will stage it's first ever international boxing event this January - and they don't do things by half measures.
The new Casino hotel based in Incheon is working with Cocky Buffalo to bring the best in Asia to their inaugural event, and with a host of countries represented, the Philippines has two very interesting inclusions.
Richard Garde steps up in class to take on China's minimumweight star Dianxing Zhu, and despite his relative inexperience, he boasts an 8-1 7KO record that gives him a puncher's chance. This bout will be the main event, and his match against the rugged Zhu will be for the WBO Global belt.
But even more compelling is the return of Genesis Servania, who when at his best, is simply world class !
His war with unbeaten Mexican Oscar Valdez is testament to the fact, and his record of 34-4 echoes that he has layers of experience. 
Servania resumed recently in an exhibition bout in Vietnam, but aside from looking "heavy" at 65kg, he looked in beautiful touch. The Bacolod star dropped his Indonesian rival in the second round, doing so with a mixture of well placed body rips finishing with shots to the head.
Genesis Servania will drop to Lightweight 61kg for his Korean bout, and he is matched with Vietnam legend Nguyễn Văn Hải. This bout is expected to be a really true test of where the Philippines boxer sits in his comeback journey. 
More news in this fight and event coming soon.

AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN HEAR A PIN DROP

That is the sound of silence !
Equal parts stealthy and lethal, one of the Philippines' best fight technicians Arnel "the Silencer" Baconaje returns to the ring this coming Monday. 
Baconaje is part of a top notch UNSTOPPABLE fight card to be held at the Elorde Sports Centre in Parañaque Manila. 
And expect the champ to be in sparkling and devastating form - he has just recently returned from fight camp in Baguio where he helped prepare Marlon Tapales for his impending clash with "the Monster" Naoya Inoue. 
Arnel Baconaje "The Silencer" will take on 18 fight winner JR Magboo, amongst a KILLER line up that includes "Wonder Boy" Carl Jammes Martin, "Magic Mike" Plania, "the Wolverine" JonJon Estrada, Jhon Gemino, Esneth Domingo, Michael Bravo, Presco Carcosia and "the Journey Man" Mark John SNAP SNAP Yap - just to name a few.
This is the biggest boxing show in Manila this year, and a great way for fight fans to celebrate 2023, so if you're local, make sure you come and see some of these stars perform live.
Everyone is welcome.

MARK JOHN YAP READY TO GO SNAP SNAP

Vietnam and VSP visitor from the Philippines Mark John Yap is set to finish 2023 the way it started - with a BANG !
Yap defeated the tough Leonardo Doronio by knockout in January, then took time out for the birth of his first child Yuri. 
Despite putting on some weight, Yap came to Vietnam and performed an exhibition against national team boxer Nguyễn Hà Minh, and though looking rusty, he dropped his classy opponent multiple times in the final round for an impressive win. 
Vietnam hosted Mark John Yap once more in July, when he headed to Ho Tram and bested Hasan Sikdar  - once more by knockout. 
The VSP sponsored boxer returns to the ring next Monday on a mammoth card to be held at the Elorde Sports Centre in Parañaque Manila.  And looking at the shape he is in, another knockout would certainly not surprise. 
Mark John Yap ranks with Charly Suarez as amongst the very best foreign boxers to ever come to Vietnam, and we really hope to see him here again in 2024.

Lots of great bouts and individual performances at VSP PRO this year, and it's fantastic to see local businesses acknowledging all the hard work that our fighters put in.
Thai Hoang Huy has been one of the most prolific boxers on the circuit, competing in 6 bouts for a 4 win and 2 loss record. His most recent bout was at The Grand Ho Tram where he got to battle Botswana #1 - a huge achievement considering Huy has only been boxing for a year.
This week the popular nightspot Palazzo (located in the Sheraton hotel) acknowledged Thai Hoang Huy and their ongoing support. 
Congratulations to Palazzo and boxer Thai Hoang Huy.

VSP PR0 11 is just around the corner and promises to unearth some future stars once again.
But amongst the host of new faces, December 23 will see the return of some of the more regular and better known VSP PRO competitors. 
Tran Tan Quang Dao is arguably the most improved boxer this year, and will return to the ring for VSP PRO 11.
Despite losing his first two bouts against top opposition, the Hanoi fighter regrouped, and quickly responded with two tradesman-like wins on the bounce. Dao produced the best boxing performance of the night in his most recent victory in August, working off a beautiful jab and landing nice combinations on the inside.
Tran Tan Quang Dao has proved a super popular fixture at VSP PRO this year, and we look forward to seeing more of this guy on December 23.
Fight card information coming soon.

HANOI "HITMAN" IN KOREA "MEGA FIGHT"
December 9, 2023

HANOI "HITMAN" IN KOREA "MEGA FIGHT"

Vietnam's #1 boxer Nguyễn Văn Hải has shot up the rankings since going pro, so fast in fact, that he has been offered a fight in Korea next month against a world class opponent. 
A multiple national champion in the amateurs, Nguyễn Văn Hải has won 5 of 6 since going pro - and has been extremely impressive since doing so.
The lone blemish for the VSP boxer was a loss to star Philippines lightweight Jerald Into, an unbeaten 9-0 southpaw who Hải faced after more than two years out of the ring. 
Nguyễn Văn Hải caused a media sensation at his most recent performance, knocking out an unbeaten foreign boxer with his very first punch. Bangladesh boxer Abdul Mottalib was the victim of an overhand right, and suffered his first loss in 9 fights at the hands of the ruthless Vietnam champion. 
The "Hanoi Hitman" will star for Vietnam 🇻🇳 at a huge international event to be held at the Paradise City Casino on January 13th, with news on his opponent and fight card coming soon. 
Nguyễn Văn Hải will be in Ho Chi Minh City on December 23rd, where he will perform a 6 round exhibition at VSP PRO in preparation for the big match in Korea.
More updates coming soon.

VIETNAM TRIO MAKING WAVES IN TAIWAN

VIETNAM TRIO MAKING WAVES IN TAIWAN

There is little doubt that Vietnam have made significant progress in the professional fight sport in recent times - both in the sign up of new boxers, and also, the vastly elevated standards of referees and judges. This is in no small part attributed to the existence of Vietnam Boxing Organization, who now enable pro bouts to be properly regulated and internationally accredited.
Testament to the hard work of all, 3 🇻🇳 Viets will be rewarded with a trip to Taiwan on December 16th to take part in an event there.
16 year old prospect Dinh Minh Tuan and Cocky Buffalo's Pham Huu Thuong will compete in 4 round bouts, and both have excellent chances, being recent winners at VSP PRO. 

Nguyen Nhu Duong (VBO Official) has been an impressive performer this year in the role of officiating bouts, and will create some history by lending his skills to the Taiwan event.
The inclusion of the Vietnam 🇻🇳 boxers was made possible by VSP Promotions, who are looking forward to providing lots of international opportunities to local performers in 2024.
The Taiwan show will be supervised by PBC, in collaboration with the Vietnam Boxing Organization.

NGUYỄN VĂN HẢI WARM UP BOUT DECEMBER 23

The "Hanoi Hitman" will return to VSP PRO this month, in advance of a major fight scheduled for Korea on January 13th. 
Nguyễn Văn Hải is currently ranked pound for pound #1 in Vietnam, and it is expected that he will take on a world ranked opponent at the Paradise City Hotel and Casino in Incheon next month.
It is always a treat to see this Vietnam legend fight live, and it's a major coup for VSP PRO 11 to host an exhibition bout for the Hitman Hải on Saturday December 23rd. 
And for those who have not been lucky enough to have experienced it before - a word of advice.
Do not miss your chance to see this Vietnam champion in the flesh !

BOTSWANA BOXER TO RETURN TO HCMC

VSP PRO 11 is set to be the biggest and best of the year !
There are soooo many talented boxers that were itching to fight, so expect to see a huge card on December 23 (at this stage, we have at least 12 fights !)
And of special interest to boxing fans will be the return to Vietnam of Moabi Ngaka (pictured) - a recent winner at the Ho Tram RUMBLE in Vung Tau. 
Moabi is a former youth champ in his native Botswana, and it's likely that he will perform a 6 round spar with Vietnam legend Nguyễn Văn Hải (who is a heavier weight class boxer)
Both fighters will use the VSP PRO show as a much needed "hit out" before heading to Korea for big fights at Paradise City on January 13th.

More news on the VSP PRO 11 fight card coming soon.

NGAKA: "I WANNA COME BACK TO VIETNAM!"

VSP PRO 11 will have INTERNATIONAL flavour !

Botswana boxer Moabi Ngaka made history recently as the first African to fight in Vietnam. 
And the boy revered as "the Eagle" had such a great time Ho Chi Minh City, that he says he wants to come back - ASAP !

"I really enjoyed the opportunity to get back into the ring again, and the Ho Tram show was like nothing I had previously experienced. And being the first African boxer, it made it very exciting. But the most memorable for me and my coach Simba was how friendly the Vietnam people are, and how much love they showed us. It will stay with me for my whole life".
"I heard that VSP are doing a show on December 23rd - and I want in ! 
I will be fighting in Korea in January, so it will be perfect preparation for me. I know Vietnam has some killers, so I like that vibe too - the Eagle is willing to fight anyone !!"
Moabi Ngaka is a confirmed starter for VSP PRO 11 on December 23rd, as is popular local boxer Thai Hoang Huy (pictured) who was the recent opponent of the Eagle at The Grand Ho Tram. 

Updates on VSP PRO 11 coming soon.

GANOZA READY TO FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE 🔥

GANOZA READY TO FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE 🔥

It's almost GO TIME for another great Dragon Fire show in Perth, and main event boxers Alex Winwood and Cris Ganoza looked pumped and ready at today's weigh-in. 
Star Aussie Alex Winwood checked in at 48.35 kg, whilst Ganoza tipped the scales at 47.75kg.
This is the first time in Australia for the Philippines boxer Cris Ganoza, and the veteran of 20 wins was certainly not daunted by his impending task judging by the face off.
Alex Winwood is a prodigious young talent, but his lack of pro experience will be put to the test in tomorrow night's huge bout. 
The match is expected to be very offensive, and the pinoy Ganoza has promised to return any favours with interest !
Young dragons are ready to breathe fire 🔥 !!

Big things coming this Friday night in Perth Australia, when Cris Ganoza takes on hot Aussie prospect Alex Winwood.
Despite a career record of 20 wins, the southpaw Ganoza is ranked #74 in the world, whilst Winwood with only 3 wins, is ranked #11.
Be in no doubt, Alex Winwood has huge potential, and is being fast tracked towards a world title. 
But the Philippines' Cris Ganoza is definitely no speed hump, and he represents easily the toughest test in the Aussie boxer's short professional career.

VIETNAM 🇻🇳 WELCOMES BOTSWANA 🇧🇼

Botswana boxer Moabi Ngaka arrived in Saigon late last night, yet was up early this morning and hard at work at VSP Boxing Gym. 
Ngaka makes headlines as the first Botswana fighter to venture to Vietnam, when he appears at a big international event to be held in Vũng Tàu this Saturday night.

"TRIGGER" THAO GETS A MEXICAN GUN FIGHT

When you're talking boxing, you're talking tough and Mexican in the same breath !

So Vietnam's Tran Van Thao aka "the Trigger", despite a ring absence of more than a year, wasn't looking for anything easy when he chose Mexican Kenbun Torres as his opponent.

As you can see, both boys were SHREDDED and turned up in DEMON shape at the weigh-in, and this fight lived up to all the hype.

Great job boys !

Tran Van Thao will be back in the ring in January, on a huge card that will include Genesis Servania and another top

LAURENTE FOR WBC TITLE IN CHINA

Elorde boxer Jonniel Laurente looked in great shape for tomorrow's big WBC Asia Continental bout in Chongqing China.
.
Laurente (pictured at the weigh in moments ago) takes on Wensong Liu 10-2 at Yubei Stadium for the vacant title.
But Jonniel Laurente, who recently returned from a sparring stint in Japan, is a real "live dog" in his title bid, possessing the great career stats of 8-0.
That said, tomorrow's title bout will defintely prove to be the Philippines' boxer's toughest test to date.

Trong khi đó dù cũng có một số đòn trúng đích nhưng rõ ràng lối đánh của Tuấn Vũ còn hạn chế kinh nghiệm. Chiến thắng bằng tính điểm đồng thuận cho Tấn Thành hoàn toàn xứng đáng.

WHAT MAKES IT PROFESSIONAL BOXING?
November 19, 2023

WHAT MAKES IT PROFESSIONAL BOXING?

I have been asked this question many times and you will be surprised to find that most people (even folks from the Boxing industry) don't really understand it.  

There is the technical definition between the two sports such as differences in the rules but that is a very shallow and limited understanding of the sport.

Fundamentally, amateur sports focus on finding the best athletes to represent the city, province, and finally the nation at various international tournaments for the glory of the country the athletes represent.  This is a very important role which national Federations plays.  The Federation can decide whatever it sees fit to devise local tournament rules and determine winners based on it's own standards since they are the sole power in the amateur sport they represent in that country. International community has no saying in the process of selecting top athletes to represent the country by each Federations but share same rules when competing in international tournaments such as ASIAD, OLYMPICS, SEA GAMES etc.

Professional sports however has a very different goal.  It is all about commercial benefits to the organizer and the athletes participating in the event.  It has no interest in finding the best boxer but rather focuses on what organizers can "sell" to the public and sponsors to watch.  There are no international tournaments such as SEA Games, Asian Games, or the Olympics. In professional boxing, all matches are one single event and there is no medals or 2nd place award.  There is simply a winner and a looser.  

Professional Boxing is based on a global ranking system to determine if one boxer is "better" than another, and this has a big impact on the money that athletes can demand from the organizer for participating in an event. (Generally, if a fighter have had more fights in the past with many wins, they can demand more money because more people would likely know the boxer and thus it is easier for the organizer to market the event.)  In this regard, the international community had to agree in using a common database that records such ranking.  One of such platforms where you can find combat history of athletes is called BoxRec.  It is a private website that has managed to invest in collecting most fight results around the world which is used as the first place to look when researching about a boxer.  

Because of the global ranking, a boxing match cannot be called  professional boxing simply because it applied professional rules.  It also cannot be called as professional boxing by a national Federation or even by a government alone.  For a boxing match to be accepted as "professional boxing", it must be recognized by international organizations as meeting certain standards, procedures, and paperwork. Otherwise, you can have any organizations claiming to have "local authority" to declare results of boxing matches that may not be fair and transparent. The professional boxing community has fought off countless attempts by various organizations claiming have "authority" to try and insert the results of matches that do not meet required standards.

Now who are these "international organizations" in professional boxing?  

Most people think they are WBO, WBC, IBF, WBA.  Many also wrongly think that above organizations are equivalent to IOC or FIFA but they are not.  They are all private organizations that have been successful at marketing their brands around the world.  There are over 65 of such companies but WBO, WBA, IBF, WBA are the biggest.  Each of them have their own rules and criteria as to who can fight for their belt.  They make money from the organizer (called "promoter" in boxing) who arranges events involving their brand.  In any boxing event, they work with the organizer to witness and manage the fight involving their brand only.  

Commissions are organizations that understand the requirements of being accepted as a "professional boxing" and act as an auditor to "supervise" a boxing event which are non-title fights.  Almost all professional boxing commissions in the world are private organizations except for USA and the Philippines.  Even in those countries, amateur boxing is separately managed from professional boxing since mixing amateur and professional sports often lead to corruption.  

Commissions have commercial agreements with other commissions after ensuring that they are mutually satisfied with the quality and the integrity of the supervision (audit) of a boxing match which may involve boxers under their management.  Each country can have multiple commissions. Korea has over 5 professional boxing commissions.  Japan had 2 commissions at one time but now has one private commission.  As long as a boxing match meets a certain criteria, the international community will accept it as being a "professional boxing match" and record the result.  

In Vietnam, only VBO is accepted as having met international standard by other private commissions in Japan, China, Korea, Philippines and also Boxrec.  This does not mean VBO is the licensing authority for a boxing event nor an exclusive organization for boxing in Vietnam. VBO works with any promoters who is licensed by the government to organize a boxing event to provide consultancy, audit, and boxing management to meet a certain standards that are recognized by boxing organizations which VBO has commercial agreements with.  Only then, the boxing match is recognized as being a "Professional Boxing" match by the the international community.  

It is important  to note that if a boxing match is supervised by an organization or even government that the international community does not recognize as having a certain knowledge and standard, it will not be recorded as Professional Boxing no matter what the local organization claim it to be.  

Recently, Vietnam Boxing Federation (VBF) has been trying to disrupt legally licensed boxing events claiming to be the sole authority to approve professional boxing in Vietnam.  It is important to note that they have charged promoters in the past over USD 10,000 dollars for "sanctioning fee" and demanded various perks such as free rooms and flight tickets for their guests. They used amateur scoring system and ultimately had no recognition by international community involved in professional boxing.  For these reasons and many more, all the professional boxing events they supervised in the past were not recognized by major commissions and boxing organizations such as BoxRec.  In contrast, VBO provides its services for free to all promoters as a sponsorship.  

Another reason why VBF is rejected by the professional boxing community is because some senior executives of VBF are also gym owners, managers of boxers, and also a promoter that competes with other organizers of professional boxing in the market.  Clear conflict of interest is one thing but they haved used their authority to send various government departments to intimidate and try to disrupt boxing events by all other organizers.  

So far, VBF has yet to supervise one single professional boxing event listed on BoxRec.  In 2023, there were 2 events done by SSC.  The owner of SSC is also the Vice President of HBF and President of VBF.  The promoter of the event, Shadow Entertainment, is partly owned by the President of VBF.  

Rather than just repeating an empty slogan that VBF is the sole authority, it is important for them to first act as a responsible organization by establishing a clear rules of professional boxing for Vietnam, and also establish working agreements with various professional organizations around the world so their supervision of a professional boxing match is accepted as credible and transparent.  

In comparison, VBO does not have any boxers under contractual management and certianly don't charge any fees of any kind to boxers.  It has sponsored over 13 events in 2023 with combination of free services to organizers, gloves, hand wraps, seminars, fighter purses, flight tickets, hotel, and meals.  The result is that VBO has produced over 80% of new professional boxers in Vietnam including 100% of all female boxers.   With over 2bil VND in sponsorship, it is unlikely VBO is out to collect money from boxers they are paying and supporting in the first place as claimed by VBF.

VBO does not have any form of agreements with WBA, WBO, IBF, WBC or any other such organizations.  Those are commercial arrangements with the organizer/promoters.

"Sanctioning" is not a legal word.  It means following a certain standards for a match to be recognized by the Sanctioning organization.  For WBO title fights, WBO will be the Sanctioning organization for their brand and VBO does not get involved in that.

Function of a commission is to protect safety and welfare of boxers rather than showcasing their authority or titles guven by higher powers.  It is important that any organization claiming to be the authority first demonstrate their capability before asking for the acceptance of their competence.

ANOTHER STEP FORWARD FOR VIETNAM!
November 18, 2023

ANOTHER STEP FORWARD FOR VIETNAM!

During the WBO Global event at the Grand Ho Tram, another historic event took place.  Vietnam Boxing Organization signed a cooperation agreement with Korea Boxing Federation (KBF).  The agreement focuses around the technology transfer of professional boxing management system developed by VBO.  

Chairman Lee of KBF said "History of professional boxing in Korea is over 80 years but VBO from Vietnam has managed to develop a system that is far better than what is being used in Korea. I have never seen such an advanced system for boxing like the one developed by VBO."  

The system developed by VBO streamlines documentation process required in supervising a fight by more than 98%, saving countless hours by a commission using the system.  What usually takes days to prepare can be done in less than an hour.

NOTE:  Unlike in Vietnam, most of the countries around the world allows private organizations to use "Federation", "Association", or "Commission" in their names.  KBF is a private organization as are most professional boxing commissions around the world.

VIETNAM BOXERS HEAD TO VŨNG TÀU

Tran Van Thao and Thai Hoang Huy will fly the Vietnam flag at this Saturday night's big international show at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino.

The "Trigger" Thao resumes from more than a year out of the ring, and takes on gritty Mexican Kenbun Torres (12-4)

Thai Hoang Huy only debuted in early 2023, and has already amassed 4 wins, but has a big task against a hot opponent from Botswana.  He meets Moabi "the Eagle" Ngaka  - a two time junior gold medal winner at amateur before turning pro, and now a WBF title holder in Africa.

The international event is headlined by a WBO title match, and will be supervised by Vietnam Boxing Organization.

The action takes place in Vũng Tàu from 6pm this Saturday November 18th.
