Fight for Phuket King
Want to step into the ring wearing Phuket King on your shorts? This is how our fight team works, what we offer, and how fighters earn sponsorship with us.
What we offer fighters
- Fight opportunities. We find fights for the fighters on our team, matched to your level and weight.
- The Phuket King fight program. A structured plan for fight camps: technique, pads, sparring, clinch, conditioning, weight and recovery.
- Coaches in your corner. Coaches who know Muay Thai inside out and care about how you perform and how you recover.
- Recovery on site. Ice bath, sauna and steam room next to the gym, and clean food at the Pangea Cafe.
- A place to live and train. Rooms at Pangea Resort, a short walk from the gym on the same lake. Ask us about long stays.
From first month to sponsored fighter
We pick who is on our fight team. This is the path every fighter follows. How far you go is down to you.
Join the fight team
Your first month
- What it is
- You apply, we talk, and you start training with us. Your first month is paid at our full training price. Think of it as your deposit on a place in the team.
Prove yourself
In training and in the ring
- What we look for
- You follow the Phuket King fight program, you train hard and you turn up every session. You respect your coaches and your teammates, and you fight when we put you on a card.
Sponsored training
Free training
- What you get
- Show us you are committed and fight for us, and there is every chance we sponsor you, starting with your training for free.
Full sponsorship
For proven fighters, case by case
- What decides it
- Your results, your commitment, how you represent the gym, and your social media following and how active it is. More can be on the table for successful fighters, and it is different for every fighter.
What we expect from our fighters
- Train to the Phuket King way, and follow the fight program your coaches set.
- Be at every session you are booked for, on time, and tell us early if you cannot.
- Manage your weight and look after your body: sleep, food and recovery.
- Respect everyone in the gym: coaches, fighters and guests. Many of our guests come to watch you train and fight.
- Represent Phuket King well, in the ring and online. Tag us, share your fights, and help us show the world what our team is about.
Good to know
Do I need a fight record?
No. Experienced fighters and people who want their first fight are both welcome. You need to be fit enough to train a fight camp, and your coaches decide when you are ready to fight.
Why do I pay for the first month?
Because everyone earns their place. The first month shows us who you are and shows you who we are. Fighters who commit, train hard and fight for us have every chance of being sponsored after that.
Do you offer full sponsorship straight away?
Not straight away. Full sponsorship is for proven fighters and depends on results, commitment and profile. Sponsored training comes first.
Can I stay at the gym?
Yes. Pangea Resort is on the same lake as the gym, a short walk away, and you can book a room online. Ask us about long stay prices for fighters.
Can I get a visa to train and fight?
Many of our fighters come on the DTV visa for Muay Thai. See our DTV visa page for how it works.
