YOKKAO is heading to the UK once again in two weeks’ time for another double event at the University of Bolton Stadium. A stacked card of 21 bouts have been lined up for the 26 October show featuring UK’s top Muay Thai athletes as well as visitors from Spain and Thailand.

Originally primed for main event action, Liam Harrison has pulled out due to a knee injury sustained in his last fight at YOKKAO 41 in Dublin. He has been advised by medical specialist to stay out of training for 2 weeks in this period leading to the event, prompting the decision. We wish Harrison a speedy recovery and look forward to his next fight on the YOKKAO stage.

Scotland’s very own Craig Dickson is stepping up on short notice to take on Payet for the challenge. Dickson is the current UK number 2 in the welterweight division with over 100 fights to his name. He has fought in Thailand for many years against elite fighters and top promotions. Dickson will make his YOKKAO debut in the coming show and will be motivated to make an impression in front of the UK crowd. 

In the co-main event is another anticipated match featuring Yodchai from the YOKKAO Thailand Fight Team taking on Muay Thai world champion, Dean James. Yodchai will be making his UK debut and is determined to make his mark on the international scene. 

YOKKAO 43-44 has also gathered fresh faces and a more diverse cast on this occasion with three fighters from Spain making their promotional debut. Other action on the card to look out for includes fan-favorite clashes such as Joe Craven vs Alex McGregor, Brian Totty vs Jack Kennedy and many others.

VIP Ringside, Silver and Standard Bronze seats have all sold out with limited Gold Outer Ringside tickets still available at uk.yokkao.com/events/yokkao-43-44.
