Several fighters are gearing up for the provincially-sanctioned Quest For The Voyageur Title Muay Thai event this weekend at Mattawa Voyageur Days.
Co-organizer Corey Jackson says the event is similar to Mixed Martial Arts with very intense and aggressive action.
“The only difference is, is this a very traditional Mauy Thai stand-up kick boxing affair, where they’re using all limbs, knees, elbows, to the face, head, body,” he says.
Jackson also says fans with will recognize most of the fighters.
“Most of the athletes have fought in the last five Quest for the Voyageur Titles, they’ve all moved up in age and experience levels, they’re technical and disciplined,” he says.
The doors to the Mike Rodden Arena open at 1pm with the first bell at 2pm.
Tickets are $30 in advance or $35 at the door.
