On the evening of May 31, the coaching staff of the Vietnamese Muay Thai team announced that Huynh Ha Huu Hieu successfully defended his gold medal at the 2025 World Muay Thai Championship in Türkiye.
Huynh Ha Huu Hieu met the host country's athlete Gamze Korkmaz in the final match of the under 45kg weight class. She excellently defeated her opponent with a knock-out victory in the first round.
