The three boxers – Manas Boonchamnong, Worapoj Phetkhum, and Suriya Prasarthimpimai – announced the staging of the run at Wat Phunoi in Lop Buri’s Nong Muang district yesterday.
Manas won gold at the 2004 Athens Games and silver in Beijing in 2008 while Worapoj and Suriya both won silver in Athens.
