[아시아뉴스통신=레악카나 기자] Sports organizers shared boxing stadiums may reopen by June 15.
Sumet Suesattabongkoch, a boxing promoter for Ratchadamnoen Stadium, said matches will likely be broadcast on TV only, and the audience will not be allowed in the facilities. He also expressed condolence for those who perished in the coronavirus pandemic, and asked the government to assist the boxing industry because it’s been hit hard by the virus.
“I’d like to ask everyone in the boxing industry to endure it a bit longer,” Sumet said. “Everything will be ok soon.”
Scores of coronavirus infections in Thailand have been traced to a March 6 match at Lumpinee Stadium. The fight took place at the army-owned facility despite a closure order issued by the government. The military later announced an inquiry into the incident, but no results have been published as of publication time.
