From the case at Rangsit International Boxing Stadium Organize a children’s boxing competition As a result, the National Human Rights Commission issued a request to the relevant agencies. Perform corrections, rules or orders To comply with human rights principles Because human rights activists view child boxing as the use of child labor for that benefit.
Latest “Hi Po” Mr. Prames Phakdee Khiripraiwan Director of the Office of the Boxing Commission The Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) revealed that we have now made a letter explaining what happened to the Human Rights Commission. Which in the matter of child boxing, there are many issues for us to talk about The Boxing Act, 1999 does not specify how old you can fight. Do not punch below this. The intention of the law actually sees Muay Thai as an art, a sport accessible to people of all ages and genders.
“But for now I agree that we are working on the issue of regulations. Covenant in accordance with human rights principles And will invite various ministries Relevant to discuss and comment on whether How old do I have to be to compete in boxing? The most important thing is that the time of the fight will be 1-2 minutes rest or 3 minutes rest, including defensive equipment must be standard. “
Mr. Prames added that if a child boxing competition is to be held If it is in a different province, the organizer has to request to go to Provincial Sports Authority of Thailand (Provincial Authority) for permission directly Ready to send action plans for how many races, how much time, and most importantly, the fighting equipment must be standardized. Which depends on SAT of that province Will it be allowed or not? But if it is a standard boxing ring, boxing matches are not allowed. With fighters under 15 years of age in all cases
“Overall of the country, very few boxing competitions are held right now. The number of children playing Muay Thai has disappeared a lot. As with more than ten thousand boxing camps in the past At present, there are only thousands of camps left. So I would like to ask for cooperation to the competition organizers, all promoters, to help each other do the right thing. Regulated by the rules for the past 2 years, we have been supervising all the time. But with our staff there are not many May not be able to check all Therefore, we would like everyone involved to work together to do the right thing. I would like every boxing camp to teach children the arts of Muay Thai to be healthy for sport and to preserve the art of Thai culture.
Mr. Prames added that Right now, the Boxing Sports Commission plans to distribute standard boxing equipment. To various boxing camps registered with the office Expected within this year will begin to gradually distribute equipment until the end of every boxing camp.
“I was not worried about what happened. Because this is the way of life of the Thai people Is a Thai cultural art Foreigners also like Thai boxing. I’ve been boxing since 8-9 years old. We know what’s what. Children today are different from those of the past. Originally I was a poor boy. But we have to fight I had to fight in order to raise money to support my family, ”said director of the Boxing Commission.
