Guess Who’s Back?

Steven Wakeling Returns
I got a message about this from the Champions Club of Pattaya’s Bernard Caplin. By all expectations now apparently Steven Wakeling will be returning to Muay Thai in the ring.
Steven Wakeling made an early impression on the UK and world Muay Thai fan base on Dan Green’s Muay Thai event by beating Yingyai. Following that win Wakeling went on to fight and beat Australian standout John Wayne Parr and had a high profile fight with Lamsongkram Chutwatanna, with Lamsongkram winning that one. Wakeling is set to make the return at super middleweight and reportedly an opponent for Wakeling is being negotiated for the 76 kg category.
It’s good to see Steve back and I always wondered where he went since Wakeling is still a very young (I think) 25 years old and should have many good years of fighting ahead. The obvious question to be answered by Wakleing’s return is how much has the time off hurt or helped him? And can he be as dominating as he once was? Wakeling fights out of the Scorpions Gym in Leeds, England along with his brother and fellow nak muay Mark Wakeling.
At the The Champions Club 6 Steven Wakeling is scheduled to fight again as one part of the main event on January 8th, 2011. Also scheduled to appear is Joachim Carlson of Contender Asia fame. Joachim has been selected to participate as part of an 8-man tournament to be held also at The Champions Club 6.
