orgThe World Muaythai Council
สภามวยไทยโลก · sapha muay thai lok
Set up by the Thai government in 1995.
What it is
The professional sanctioning body, established by the Thai government and sanctioned by the Sports Authority of Thailand.
The long version
Two bodies, two logics. IFMA exists to get the sport into the Olympics and is international by design. The WMC exists because the Thai state wanted the professional belts sanctioned from Bangkok.
Inference — in practice neither settles an argument in Thailand. A Lumpinee or Rajadamnern title does.
Connected to
- IFMA The amateur side.
- Lumpinee Boxing Stadium What actually settles it.
Named here by
- IFMA The professional body.
