will be carrying an extra bit of motivation into his monumental flyweight kickboxing super-fight against in the main event of .
Taking place this Sunday, March 23, that at Saitama Super Arena in Japan will be Rodtang바카라s first fight as an expectant father.
Late last year, the Thai superstar and his wife, Aida, announced they had a child on the way, and in January, they revealed it will be a boy.
Now in his final preparations for one of the biggest kickboxing bouts in history, Rodtang spoke to about soon becoming a father:
바카라My son motivates me a lot. I바카라m going to fight for the sake of my son in this fight with Takeru.바카라
Rodtang plans to put the same amount of effort and dedication into being a father as he has to become a global superstar and one of the planet바카라s best pound-for-pound strikers.
He hopes to be a constant presence in his son바카라s life, supporting him in any way he can.
At the same time, he doesn바카라t want to spoil his child 바카라 and instead aims to nurture his son바카라s self-confidence, work ethic, and ability to solve problems on his own:
바카라I want to be a good father. I want my son to remember how hard his dad worked to get to where he is today. I will be a good example for him, but I will not give him too easy of a life.
바카라I may give him money, but I will not let him live too comfortably. I want him to learn to fight and do things by himself, with me helping him from a distance.바카라
Like every other new parent, Rodtang can바카라t stop thinking about what the future holds and about the person his son will become.
Of course, he바카라s also curious if his child will follow in his footsteps and pursue martial arts as a career:
바카라I바카라m so excited. I바카라m waiting to see if he바카라ll become a boxer like me.바카라
While Rodtang Jitmuangnon is eager to train his son in 바카라the art of eight limbs,바카라 he is also passionate about other sports.
As an avid soccer fan who plays the game during his downtime, the Thai revealed that he will name his child after one of that sport바카라s most iconic figures:
바카라I plan to teach him Muay Thai myself. I바카라ll impart all my knowledge to him. I am naming him Nong Zlatan because I admire Zlatan Ibrahimovic (a famous Swedish soccer player). That바카라s why I chose this name for my son.바카라
Despite the grand plans for his son to become a Muay Thai superstar, Rodtang said that, above all, he wants his son to be fulfilled.
Whether that means fighting in Muay Thai or not, he바카라ll support him no matter what:
바카라Of course, if he wants to learn Muay Thai, I will teach him myself. I would be very happy if he chose to be a Muay Thai fighter like me. But it바카라s up to him. Let him do whatever makes him happy, and I will be happy for him, too.바카라
