Muay Thai Boxing legend Buakaw Banchamek has taken the drastic step to shave all the hair form his head in respect of a promise he made to his favorite football team Man-U. Last Thursday went bald because of a promise he made about the English Premier League match that was played between Liverpool and Manchester United last Sunday.




Champ Buakaw via his Facebook post said he would shave his head if his favorite team which happens to be Manchester Untied did not lose to the current English Premire League title holder Liverpool FC. Well the match ended in a 0-0 draw which caused Buakaw Banchamek to shave this head and begin showing off his new look last Thursday.

The Surin-born Buakaw, at 38, is arguably one of the most respected and feared fighters to have fought Mauy Thai sporting ring. His lethal combination of precision, power and pressure fighting have earned him titles as Omnoi Stadium champion (twice), Lumpinee Stadium champion, No 1-ranked fighter in Lumpinee Stadium, Thailand featherweight champion, K-1 World MAX champion (twice) and 2011 and 2012 Thai Fight tournament champion.
