In November

B.E. 2472 (1929 CE) Chao Khun Katatorabodee first organized
a boxing bout along with other festivities at a fun park in Lumpini Park. He chose
only good boxers to fight every Saturday. An educated and worldly man, he built
an international standard boxing ring with three ropes and a canvas floor. There
were red and blue corners, two judges, and a referee in the ring. It was here that a
bell was first used as the round signal.
