Hampered by injuries over a three-year Muay Thai career, Remdizz had set out with a vision of building his own grassroots promotion that could surface new talent and, eventually, provide an income not just for himself but for others supplying food and drinks and dressing the fighters. It began life in 2021, in a back garden with a ring consisting of foam-wrapped fence posts and a few strips of construction tape. King Of The Ring, or KOTR, is his brainchild. Remdizz – who only wanted to go by his nickname – twirls and waltzes and slides between the competitors, adjudicating, and then, when it’s all done, declaring a win, loss or draw.
