Recently, the audience has been asking who will replace the talented Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat when the number 1 Muay Thai fighter in Vietnam, who is known as the "undefeated fighter" of Vietnam, has begun to step over the other side of the slope of his career due to old age. And it did not take long for the answer to be revealed when the new talent, boxer Le Cong Nghi, appeared in the men's 51 kg weight class.
This is the starting weight class for any boxer who wants to go far in a martial art that is considered not easy to achieve, especially when the direct opponent Thailand is always very strong in the region.
Le Cong Nghi won the championship
Nguyen Thi Thanh Truc won third place.
With strong belief, good training awareness, aggressive and skillful two-sided hitting techniques with high accuracy, along with a resilient fighting spirit and a good performance mentality, Cong Nghi has gradually asserted himself eloquently at the 2024 Asian Championship that just took place in Taiwan. With great determination in each match and reasonable tactics from his close teacher, Coach Giap Trung Thang, who has trained and brought Duy Nhat to the "top" in the past, Cong Nghi has overcome strong opponents and won the final match by knocking out his opponent from the Philippines to become the champion.

Coach Giap Trung Thang commented: "In the matches he has played, Cong Nghi has always been stubborn and maintained his momentum, each blow has a point. Especially, no matter who the opponent is, he still maintains the necessary concentration, always plays with stable form and never slacks off. This is the quality of a strong boxer, with good development in the future. I have great confidence that if he is invested in better, he will progress a lot."

In addition, boxer Nguyen Thi Thanh Truc also won a bronze medal in the women's 51 kg weight class. With this achievement, the position of Vietnamese Muay Thai not only continues to be affirmed in the region but also serves as a great motivation for young boxers to continue striving in the future. At this year's Asian Muay Thai Championship, Vietnam was also unanimously chosen by the Asian Muay Thai Federation to host the 2025 tournament in April next year. The specific location is expected to be Vung Tau City.
