Coming from an era in where we needed the local bar or club sponsors needed to our events to sponsor, after all the great hard fighting in the Lumpini Stadium to conquer the martial arts world and to obtain worldwide recognition, I am proud to have been at the base of a moment like this; where our sport and athletes slowly get the respect that they deserve. Thanks to all the people who have walked this road with me, which believed in and had the confidence to build it up to a great Kickboxing brand. Special thanks to Ramon Dekkers, one of the pioneers and the reason I am still employed in this business to the highest level reached by our sport. This is just the beginning.
