WOMEN'S MUAY THAI TITLE BOUTS
It has been a few years since Calgary was last witness to any kind of Title fights for the fairer sex in Muay Thai. PAIN CONVENTION intends to solve this with two outstanding Canadian athletes battling for a World Title and a North American Title. Calgarian Sandra Bastian steps into the ring against the highly touted and 2007 WKA World Tournament Champion Zuleyha Turan. The German girl is highly touted in Muay Thai, Kickboxing and Boxing. Calgary's Misty Sutherland steps into the ring with Mexico's representative at the World Championships in Bangkok, Itzel Cadena Mendoza. These are going to be outstanding wars with so much prestige and national honor at stake.
