Dave Leduc, the Myanmar-Canadian boxing icon and first foreign champion of Myanmar’s national martial art, Lethwei, squared off with Kun Khmer legend Prum Samnang in a battle of combat sports titans on Sunday.
Emanating from The Town Arena at Chip Mong 271 Megamall in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Leduc stepped into the ring for what is expected to be his final fight after more than 10 years of dominance in Lethwei and Muay Thai. The ‘Steel Giraffe’ initially kickstarted his career competing in mixed martial arts, but opted to make the move to Myanmar where he quickly established himself as one of the most exciting fighters in sport.
