Irish Muay Thai prodigy Tadhg Gannon makes his highly anticipated debut at the prestigious Rajadamnern World Series (RWS) this Saturday, May 16, in Bangkok, Thailand.
Still only in the early stages of what promises to be a remarkable career, Gannon arrives in Thailand with a flawless 13-0 professional record and an already impressive list of accomplishments:
- Two-time WMO International Champion
- WMO European Champion
- Ranked #7 in the world by the World Muaythai Organization
- Ranked #9 in the world by the World Boxing Council MuayThai
- Hungryside 8-Man Tournament Winner
- WBC World Games Champion (2024 and 2025)
Standing across from him will be Iran’s Parsa Amnipour, a seasoned campaigner now representing Venom Muay Thai. This is anything but an easy introduction to one of the sport’s biggest stages.
Amnipour brings valuable experience, having competed multiple times under the RWS banner and shared the ring with elite opponents such as The Star Petchkiatpetch, Kongthoranee Sor Sommai, and Rangkhao Wor.Sangprapai. Known for his relentless pressure, physical strength, and dangerous elbows, he presents a stern test for the young Irishman.
While Gannon may be making his RWS debut, he has consistently displayed a level of composure, maturity, and self-belief far beyond his years. Every time he steps into the ring, he looks like he belongs on the biggest stage.
Saturday night in Bangkok represents another major milestone in the journey of one of Ireland’s brightest Muay Thai talents. A victory over an experienced and battle-tested opponent like Amnipour would send a clear message to the global Muay Thai community that Tadhg Gannon is ready to compete with the very best.
