In the interest of accuracy and our determination to have the rankings reflect the current Muay Thai scene in the UK, we will enforce the one year ruling, removing fighters who are inactive beyond a 12 month period.
We also wish to reflect the Champions we have in the UK under Muay Thai rules (A Class) and invite any fighter who currently holds a title with one of the main organisations (WBC,WRSA,UKMF,ISKA) to let us know. However, we will only list the title if its held in the division you are ranked in. Also we will only list your highest belt with any one Org (example Leigh Edlin ISKA European Champion, rather than Leigh Edlin ISKA British, ISKA European)Obvious reason that European Champ would cover British area.
Please remember....These rankings are compiled in good faith with the information we have at hand. If you do not agree with your ranking for example you have beaten someone above you, know that a fighter has retired or is in the wrong weight division then please let us know by contacting us here weazeldeazel@yahoo.co.uk with the correct information
