On August 15, Manet took to social media to thank Leduc, saying he will personally welcome the boxer when he arrives in the Kingdom later this year to compete in a Kun Khmer tournament.

Holy shit! This documentary is next level!
Lethwei is without doubt the most savage of combat sports, and MFC bringing eyes to it in the Western world is what we need!

Hi everyone, I have an important message... I am very grateful and fortunate that my career has made me live so many great moments. I want to thank everyone who always supported me. I was honored to fight great battles and share the ring in my prime with the best Lethwei fighters. I was also fortunate to have fought many times in Tokyo, Japan and to have contributed to bringing Lethwei in the USA.
I was the first Lethwei fighter to become an ambassador for the conglomerates Canal+ and 1xbet and made history as the first Lethwei fighter to make the cover of the legendary Karate Bushido magazine (@KARATEBUSHIDO1), what an honor after martial artists such as Bruce Lee (1974), Van Damme (1993), Bas Rutten (1997), Rickson Gracie (1998), Fedor (2007), GSP (2008), Francis Ngannou (2019).
I have dedicated my career and my life to promoting Myanmar Lethwei to the world. I conducted around 100 Lethwei seminars in 30 countries, which had never been done before in the history of the sport. I waved the Myanmar flag in all my travels, and we can now be very proud that Myanmar Lethwei is being practiced all around the world.
I defended the Golden Belt title 9 times from many different international challengers under traditional rules (KO only to win) and remained undefeated. I am proud to say that I was able to hold all the major Openweight belts. I sacrificed blood, sweat, and tears to get to the top of Lethwei and these titles are my rewards.
I will now focus on my family, promotion, business, and opening the @LeducLethwei MMA & Fitness gym (location TBD).
The state of the world and the situation in Myanmar in the last 3 years has made it incredibly difficult for me to continue my career… It’s a very sad time as citizens including some Lethwei fighters have been injured or arrested. Recently I was very saddened to hear that Too Too, my former opponent has been killed in custody.
I want to thank everyone for the continuous support, but I am officially retiring from Lethwei & professional fighting. I have been invited to make one last fight in Cambodia under Kun Khmer, it will be my last competition. Thanks for the amazing ride, love you all 👊🏼💛
Rest In Peace brother 🙏…
There’s a war going on right now in amazing and beautiful country of #Myanmar 🇲🇲 but you probably didn’t even hear about it because there’s no economic benefits to the west to cover it in mainstream media.
Atrocious times: villages burnt, wells poisoned, protesters shot, rights violated, citizens arrested and killed..
We should be as concerned about what’s happening in Myanmar, with what’s happening with #Russia / #Ukraine
What is incredible is Myanmar just lost one of its champion Too Too, who was protesting the current military coup and was arrested last year. Some sources close to him say he was abused/tortured while in custody to make an example out of him because he’s a hero in the country... sources say he was killed trying to escape…they did this to a legend of the traditional sport…
Too Too, my brother you were a warrior and a legend of Lethwei and one of the toughest guys I have ever fought.
Too Too was the the first one to welcome me into the world of Myanmar traditional Lethwei for my first fight of my career. I was brought in as a sacrificial lamb but we made history with a legendary battle. Even if we had back and forth on social media, know that it was only business brother and I always had great respect for your skills and insane endurance (he never got knocked out in 65 Lethwei fights: KO to win, bareknuckle & headbutts allowed)
you died as a champ… It was a pleasure to share the ring with you 🙏 #RestInPeace, and I promise to continue promoting #Lethwei to the world, our shared passion 🙏
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
For $MFC - Marshall Fighting Champion, this man is @KingLeduc: 6-times #Lethwei World Champion and a successful entrepreneur/businessman.
