Boxing matches resume after lockdown, but audiences stay homeMuaythai boxers fight in front of empty spectator seats behind closed doors due to the spread of the coronavirus disease at Siam Boxing Stadium in Samut Sakhon on Saturday. However, authorities have yet to issue rules on when and how audiences will be allowed at sports venues. In March, a spike in virus cases was linked to a boxing match at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium. "Today is a good start for the boxing industry," said Viboon Jampa-nguern, head of the boxing committee. The same goes for those who work as boxing referees, they don't have second jobs to support them," he said.
