Chase Green was originally scheduled to face Stephen Richards at Bangkok Fight Night 11, but has been pulled from the fight and replaced with Cyrus Washington. Muay Thai Authority has confirmed with Bangkok Fight Night promoter Khunpon Dechkampu that Richards and Washington will fight in the main event at Bangkok Fight Night 11 which will take place at Center Stage in Altanta, GA on October 22nd.Washington was set to fight Dave Zuniga in Canada on September 10th, but issues getting into Canada caused Washington to be pulled from the fight. Washington has recently faced some elite competition in Kaoklai and Cosmo Alexandre, but came up short both times. A recent participant on "The Challenger Muay Thai", Washington has stepped into the ring with some elite level fighters and should prove to be a good test for Stephen Richards.
Richards last competed in August of 2010, defeating Shawn Yarborough by unanimous decision. The fight was memorable because midway through the bout Richards had his arm broken after blocking a kick from Yarborough. Despite the broken arm Richards finished the fight strong and left no doubt in the judges mind that he had won the fight. It will be interesting to see if the time off for recovery has affected Richards.
