↵The latest news from the rumor mill surrounding the much discussed Jean Claude Van Damme v. Somluck Kamsing kickboxing fight set to take place in October 2010 is that the fight may indeed take place in Las Vegas after all, but with a new backer.
↵When the fight was first discussed late last year it was planned to take place in Vegas. However, when Van Damme made his first public comment on the fight, he confirmed that it would take place in China this coming October. The new possible plan is to switch the fight back to Vegas at the behest of Oscar De La Hoya, whose Golden Boy Promotions may end up promoting the fight.
Golden Boy to Promote Jean Claude Van Damme Kickboxing Match?
↵This fight remains extremely interesting to me and I’d much rather see it in Vegas where coverage will be a bit easier than in China. However, the fight could face a bit of a hurdle in getting a commission approval, although it’s possible that they could call the fight an exhibition and avoid the stricter regulation of an actual fight under the guidance of the Las Vegas Athletic Commission.
