Thailand’s oldest and most iconic Muaythai venue, Rajadamnern Stadium, once again proved why it stands among the world’s leading arenas and a true spiritual home of elite Muaythai.
The April Inferno Superfights were among the most highly anticipated events of the year, played out in front of a full house to the very last seat, creating an electric atmosphere worthy of Muaythai’s rich heritage. The event was broadcast to over 200 countries worldwide, further confirming Muaythai’s position as a truly global sport.
More than just a competition, the evening stood as a powerful testimony to why Muaythai has earned recognition by the International Olympic Committee. Built on the core Olympic values of excellence, respect, and friendship, Muaythai continues to demonstrate strong governance, global reach, gender equality, youth development, and full commitment to integrity through adherence to the World Anti-Doping Code.
The event further highlighted the strong cooperation between the World Muaythai Council (WMC) under Royal Patronage and the International Federation of Muaythai Associations (IFMA) a unified structure allowing athletes to compete across both Olympic-recognised pathways and professional competition platforms. This cooperation reflects the strength and unity of One World, One Muaythai.
Among the standout international athletes were Malaysia’s rising stars Miki Ghazali and Elias Ghazali. SEA Games champion Miki delivered an impressive victory over Aekmongkol, reaffirming Malaysia’s growing presence on the global stage. Elias produced a courageous and highly technical performance, narrowly losing on points to Thailand’s Superchub in a closely contested bout.
Italy’s Paulo D’Antoni faced Thailand’s Peemai in one of the most exciting undercard fights of the evening, securing victory after a fast-paced and technical contest. Russia’s Dmitry Changelia also demonstrated world-class ability, defeating Thai star Nuasingha and reinforcing Russia’s reputation as a leading nation in combat sport.
The headline bouts delivered Muaythai at true championship level.
WMC World Champion Chadd Collins of Australia faced WMC-ranked Dam for the RWS World Title in a high-level five-round contest. Both athletes showcased exceptional skill and determination, with Dam securing victory on points in a closely fought battle.
In the main event, Rajadamnern Stadium World Champion Daniel Rodriguez of Switzerland took on Thai elite fighter Hercules, delivering a composed and dominant performance that once again underlined his world-class credentials.
Overall, the evening was a clear reflection of Muaythai’s true universality and continued global development, with international athletes winning four of the six bouts a powerful indicator of the sport’s worldwide growth under united and internationally recognised structures.
Congratulations to the Rajadamnern World Series (RWS) and to all the athletes who stepped onto the global stage. You have made your country, your gym, your families and above all, yourselves proud.
One World. One Muaythai.
