Sportspeople From Myanmar

"My knee has recovered but I need to do extreme training. I’m trying to get back to my best form, and I believe in myself."

"I am very interested in Lethwei since my childhood and know it will help us to escape from poverty."

"Some people are racist and rude. I understand if they support my opponents, but it's heartbreaking to hear them shout discriminatory words against me."

"I feel so sad when I face local fighters [...] I don’t want to fight local fighters again. I want to fight foreign fighters and make our traditional Lethwei famous access the world."

"My immediate target is Leduc. I want to fight him in 2018. Lethwei is Myanmar traditional sport, that is why the champion should be a local fighter."
