This Saturday on November 7, history will be made as the first official Lethwei title will be contested on U.S. soil. Courtesy of Colorado-based promotion Sparta Sports and Entertainment, the two men challenging for this title will be Dave Leduc and Cyrus Washington, who are set to lock horns in a highly anticipated rematch.
In 2017, Leduc and Washington met for the first time under traditional Lethwei rules, going five solid rounds in that years Myanmar Lethwei World Championship in the country’s capital of Yangon. Leduc used his lengthy frame to get the better of his opponent, however, due to the traditional ruleset, the fight was ultimately ruled a draw as there was no knockout. The prestigious Openweight Lethwei Golden Belt and Air KBZ Aung Lan Championship would remain in the hands of the Canadian.
