WLC: Who Can Challenge World Champion Antonio Faria?

Antonio Faria has quickly placed himself at the top of the World Lethwei Championship pecking order.

Faria has scored four consecutive wins all via finish to become the WLC light welterweight titleholder.

However, once you reach the top, everyone is now gunning for you. 

So who on the WLC roster could pose as the biggest threat or challenge to the reign of Faria? 

Back at WLC: Lethwei Showcase in September, Faria defended his title with a third round TKO over Francisco Jose Vinuelas. Earlier on that card, Yoel Paique stopped Saw Hla Min in the second round to secure a knockout.

Paique landed several low kicks that forced the fight to be called off. 

At WLC: Hideout Battle, Sherzod Kabutov showed he has the stamina and endurance to battle through 15 minutes of action. Kabutov topped Nakha for a convincing decision that night. 

Saw Min Min had a big 2019, posting a pair of victories. He stopped Aung Aung Htoo at WLC: Karen Spirit and also posted a decision over Saw Darwait. 

Thway Thit Maung also claimed two wins in 2019 with others such as Ye Thway Ne, Lwan Chai, Elite Peakday and Saw Kaung Htet looking to prove themselves in the division.
