CVBT to embrace Muay Thai
Sergio Batarelli reports:
As president of the BRAZILIAN CONFEDERATION OF VALE TUDO FIGHTS I come
through this to inform that due to the fact of the modality Muay Thai
to be practically stop in Brazil, we of CBVT decided to create THAI
BOXING department (Muay Thai), in this entity and therefore our acronym
CBVT starts to represent BRAZILIAN CONFEDERATION OF VALE TUDO AND THAI
BOXING, with that we hoped to place Brazilian Muay Thai in a prominence
place in the world of the fights.
Starting from now all the events of IVC will have disputes of Muay Thai or Kick Boxing with disputes of world titles, or international, and the beginning of this project will already happen in IVC X and XI that it will be realized in the city of Maceis - Alagoas, Brazil, where IVC X will be composed of 5 super fights, with Carlco Barreto's turn that will defend his world heavy weight title, Vanderlei Silva it will fight for the dispute of the world middleweight title, Peli will fight for the world lightweight title, besides Milton Bahia, The Pedro, Johil de Oliveira among others. IVC XI will be a 8 men tournament up to 80 kg. And the dispute of the world title of Kick Boxing WKN in the division up to 96 kg between the Brazilian Eduardo Canuto and English Simon Dore, besides more two international fights among Brazilian fighters against the fighters from Northern Ireland of Billy Murrai's team.
I inform although the interested ones in participating in those new competitions of Muay Thai, they can enter in contact with CBVT by e-mail or by phone 55 + 11 + 5505 5849.
This is CBVT working on behalf of the fights in Brazil.

Showdown in Milwaukee
Robert Wilesmith reports:
Hi everyone,
On March 19th in Milwaukee, WI. USA, two of the best fighters in the Southern Hemisphere today will take on what seems to be the best Northern Hemisphere it has to offer:
- 95 kg: Grant "The Bomber" Barker vs Jeff "Duke" Roufus for the IKF World Muaythai Title. (5x3min rounds). The winner is to fight Dennis Lane in North Carolina in June.
- 67 kg: Marcus "Mad Dog" Mangan vs Kongnapa for the IKF World Muaythai Title (5x3min rounds).
Also one of my 78kg amateur fighters Shane Meads will fight one of Duke's fighters on the night as well. I would like to thank Jeff Roufus & Steve Fossum (President of the IKF) for their help in making all this happen. The Aussie's are coming over for the huge showdown & we are coming back with TWO TITLE BELTS. On a bad note, Duke is running his promotion on my birthday (19th). Isn't it nice to be 21 "AGAIN"?????.
Well my friends, if you would like to see what else is happening in the Kickboxing world today, click on 3 of my favourite webpages:
Keep kickin' everyone & the thought of the day is:
"KEEP THE B.S. OUT OF THE BEST SPORT IN THE WORLD TODAY, MUAYTHAI"!
Your Friend,

Kickboxing gym needs help
Gavin Pomfrett has emailed us about Andrew Pompei's Wheatsheaf Kickboxing Gym in Esher, Great Britain;
they just created a website to ask for help to let their
small but enthusiastic and serious club relocate from a closet-sized bungalow into something with at least a toilet and a dressing room.
This would also enable them to teach children safely and provide for training of people with disabilities as well, and finally they wouldn't have
to turn more people interested in training down purely due to space constraints.

Brian is relocating
It finally happens. Brian has left the building in Louisville, KY and is heading towards Dallas, TX where a new house, a new job, and most
importantly, a new gym is waiting for him. Things will take about one or two weeks to settle down he said; in the meantime I'll try to keep the news
page updated and reply to emails - a task not to be taken lightly; I hope I'll be able to keep up with the expectations.
Andras
