After four years away from competition “The Kamikaze” will be throwing down this Saturday in El Paseo in a muay Thai fight with 4oz gloves. Kam is a dedicated driven individual running his own business and still getting to the gym every night. Not having fought in some time Kam has kept learning, been a coach and a corner giving him a front row seat to the continued evolution of the sport. This fight will be a different kind of challenge as Jumawan will be competing at the heaviest weight he ever has.
