A man is in critical condition after a muay thai charity match in support of breast cancer research. The incident occurred during the Amateur Muaythai Championship (AMC) 13 - Fight for Hope tournament held at the National Stadium on September 12. The injured individual, a muay thai student representing Singapore gym Inspire Fitness Asia, was transported to Tan Tock Seng Hospital's Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with unspecified injuries.
The Singapore Muaythai Association (SMA) confirmed the incident on September 17 and stated that medical assistance was provided on-site before the man was taken to the hospital. The Singapore Civil Defence Force received a call for assistance at 7:05pm on September 12. The SMA is conducting a formal review of the incident and investigating the circumstances surrounding the injury.
Police are also looking into the matter. The victim's gym, Inspire Fitness Asia, declined to comment on the incident, citing privacy concerns. Tributes have been paid by social media users and the gym, who described the victim as more than just a student, but a brother and family member. Sport Singapore and The Kallang Group have acknowledged awareness of the incident and are cooperating with the SMA's review.
