A Singapore Muay Thai fighter was left critically injured after competing at the Fight for Hope amateur Muay Thai tournament at the National Stadium, raising questions about just how dangerous amateur combat sports can be. 🥊 While the word “amateur” might sound less intense, it doesn’t mean light sparring — fighters can still compete in full-contact Muay Thai, with punches, kicks, knees and elbows. So what actually separates amateur Muay Thai from professional fights? We look at the rules, protective equipment and safety measures used in amateur competition, as well as research into how common serious injuries are in the sport. Here’s what you should know about the risks of amateur Muay Thai — and we’re wishing the injured fighter a safe and full recovery. 🙏🏻👊🏻 #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #muaythai #sgtiktok #sgviral
