There has been talk, rumors, and more talk about the unbanning of Ot Phutang, Pich Seyha, Pich  Sophan and Chey Kosal, all of whom were banned for life by the previous boxing federation president as a penalty for fighting overseas without permission. A new president, Tem Moeun, was voted in in December, and talk quickly began to surface that he would overturn the ban.

TV5 just announced that Pich Sophan will fight Mey Sopheap and Ot Phutang will face Vung Sitou Sithai next weekend. The fighters are back.
