Rajadamnern Stadium once again placed Muaythai on an international stage with the RWS Supershow, held as part of the April Inferno Superfights, in front of a full house in Bangkok and broadcast to more than 200 countries. The event brought together competitors from Thailand, Switzerland, Australia, Malaysia, Italy and other international athletes, with a card that combined title bouts, global participation and an institutional dimension for the development of the discipline.

The event took place at one of Muaythai’s most symbolic venues. Rajadamnern officially opened in 1945 and presents itself as the first stadium in the world built for the sport, as well as one of the arenas that helped shape its modern identity, traditions and professional competitive system. That historical weight turned the evening into more than another event on the calendar: it reflected the link between Thai tradition and Muaythai’s international expansion.

Rajadamnern Stadium and Muaythai’s Olympic dimension

The night was held within the cooperation framework between the World Muaythai Council -WMC-, under royal patronage, the International Federation of Muaythai Associations -IFMA- and the Rajadamnern World Series -RWS-. That structure connects professional competition with internationally recognised pathways in a discipline that received full recognition from the International Olympic Committee -IOC- in 2021 through IFMA.

The organisers presented the event as an expression of the values of excellence, respect and friendship, together with key areas for international sports recognition: governance, global reach, gender equality, youth development and integrity. IFMA includes among its strategic priorities equal participation for men and women at the highest level, adherence to the anti-doping framework and the consolidation of Muaythai as a sport with a presence in recognised international competitions.

Daniel Rodriguez and Dam lead an international card

In the main event, Daniel Rodriguez, Rajadamnern Stadium world champion and representative of Switzerland, defeated Thai fighter Hercules with a dominant performance. The result kept Rodriguez among the international references on the circuit and closed a card designed to showcase the competitive level of professional Muaythai in one of its historic venues.

Another focus was the RWS world title bout between Chadd Collins, WMC world champion and representative of Australia, and Thai fighter Dam. The contest was decided on points after five rounds, with Dam winning an even and technically high-level fight. The preview had already positioned the match-up as one of the main references of the night, both because of Collins’ record and the sporting relevance of competing for a title at Rajadamnern.

Miki Ghazali, Paulo D’Antoni and Dmitry Changelia strengthen the international field

The presence of international athletes also shaped the rest of the evening. Miki Ghazali, Southeast Asian Games -SEA Games- champion and one of Malaysia’s emerging figures, defeated Aekmongkol, while his brother Elias Ghazali produced a close contest against Thai fighter Superchub, decided on points. On the undercard, Italian fighter Paulo D’Antoni beat Peemai in one of the most dynamic bouts of the night.

Dmitry Changelia, presented in the preview as an AIN athlete and 2025 IFMA European champion, defeated Thai fighter Nuasingha and added another international victory to a night in which four of the six bouts ended with wins for non-Thai athletes. The figure closed an event presented by RWS, WMC and IFMA as a demonstration of Muaythai’s competitive universality and its growth under common structures linking the federative sphere and the professional circuit.
