Kevin Ross out of fight with Choke Eminent Air due to injury

American Muay Thai standout Kevin Ross will not be fighting against Choke Eminent Air at Central World in Bangkok on March 16th. The event which will take place as part of Suk Wan Muaythai Naikhanomtom (National Muay Thai Day) was set to feature a bout between Ross and Choke, but a knee injury sustained during training has forced Ross to withdraw from the bout. It is unclear if a replacement for Ross will be sought after or if the bout will be scrapped completely. 

The fight would have been the first for Ross in 2012. If the fight would have gone through it would have been the third consecutive highly ranked Thai fighter that Ross would have faced in the last six months.

Kevin Ross vs. Choke Eminent Air and Simon Marcus vs. Kaoklai Kaennorsing set to take place on March 16th in Thailand

As reported by Total Muay Thai, Suk Wan Muaythai Naikhanomtom, better known in the United States as National Muay Thai Day, will feature an event on March 16th at Central World in Bangkok. Fighting on the event are American Kevin Ross, Canadian Simon Marcus, Muay Thai legend Kaoklai Kaennorsing and Choke Eminent Air.

Ross will be returning to action against Choke Eminent Air. This will be the first fight for him since his October loss to Sakkedao Petchpayathai in Los Angeles. Ross had a mixed 2011 campaign as he fought two of the best fighters in the world, but went 1-3 on the year. He held his own against Saenchai losing a decision, but was stopped by Sakkedao after an elbow opened up a nasty cut on his head. Ross undoubtedly be looking to end the two fight skid he is currently on as he tried to continue to carve his name out in North American Muay Thai and the world.
