The venue, serves as a basketball court during the day, and will host the Friday’s Fight Night
“It was all about leveling up, venue, of course the fan and our athlete experience” says Kit Yeung COO and Co-Matchmaker. “We're bringing you a huge venue with over 10,000 sq feet of space, The Post BK will truly be a game changer for Muay Thai on the East Coast”
While still a rising talent with motivations to simply challenge herself, Phoebe Liang comments on the opportunity to headline the card and the broader Muay Thai community.
“I’m pretty new to the NY fight scene, but there are so many great gyms and coaches in NY and the surrounding areas … opportunities to fight have definitely increased over the years, especially for female fighters. There are more professionally-run promotions, like AFL, giving amateur fighters the chance to fight and grow, and I believe things will only continue to get better”
