LC23 will take place on the evening of June 14 in Hanoi , with the highlight being the much-anticipated confrontation between Pham Van Nam and Le Van Tuan in the 56 kg weight class. This is a match between two fighters who used to make a living as technology motorbike taxi drivers before shining in the Vietnamese MMA scene.

Pham Van Nam will be defending his title for the second time in the 2025 season. If he continues to win, the boxer who is on a 4-match winning streak in the tournament will become the first person to successfully defend his title 3 times in a row. In addition, he will keep the championship belt permanently according to the tournament's regulations. Meanwhile, Le Van Tuan enters the title match after an impressive performance at LC21. He is currently ranked in the top 3 in the 56 kg class and is considered an interesting unknown of the competition night.

Besides the title match, LC23 also brings many notable matches. Among them, the match between Quang Van Minh and Mikhail Gritsaneko promises to be explosive with both of their strong fighting styles. The match between Dinh Van Huong and Jhaymie Gayman is an opportunity for Vietnamese boxers to assert themselves against international opponents.

The only women's match between Karina Veis (Russia) and Dao Thi Nhu Quynh (Vietnam) is also highly anticipated. If Karina is experienced and good at wrestling, Nhu Quynh stands out with her strength and brave fighting spirit, promising to create a dramatic match.

In addition, the match between Tran Trong Kim and Bui Dinh Khai between two young domestic boxers also promises to be explosive as both possess techniques and passionate fighting styles.
