The latest episode of IFMA World News is now live on the Olympic Channel, taking viewers on a powerful journey into one of Muaythai’s most iconic and prestigious events — the King’s Cup.
Episode 26 marks the beginning of a special two-part retrospective, revisiting a historic night at Sanam Suea Pa in Bangkok, where more than 100,000 spectators gathered to witness the pinnacle of Muaythai excellence.
Held in honour of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, King Rama IX, the King’s Cup stands as a symbol of tradition, respect, and the highest level of competition. The episode focuses on the gruelling “Super 8” format — eight elite athletes competing in a single night, where only one can emerge as champion.
Viewers are taken ringside through thrilling quarterfinal bouts featuring world-class athletes including Cosmo Alexandre, Yodsaenklai Fairtex, Jordan Watson, and Xu Yan.
From tactical masterclasses to dramatic comebacks, Episode 26 captures the essence of Muaythai — where heart, discipline, and heritage meet inside the ring.
The semi-finals are now set, with anticipation building for Episode 27, where the journey to crown the King’s Cup Champion will reach its climax.
Watch now on the Olympic Channel or IFMA’s YouTube Channel and experience the legacy of Muaythai.
