Buakaw Banchamek who is still an active professional kickboxer and had his most recent fight in late December last year, held a press conference to announce his shocking decision.
"I'm a football lover since I was a kid, to be a professional footballer is also my dream. When the manager gave me this chance I didn't hesitate at all. After my first training session I have to admit that I still can't adapt well. But I'll try my best," he said.
The 31-year-old registered as a student in Rattana Bundit University and the institution's affiliated football club RBAC FC jumped on the chance to sign the striker.
