Kieran Keddle

Calgary based but English born is former 3-time World Muay Thai Champion and Coach to over 22 World Champions in different martial arts disciplines. His passion for fighting took him into the promotional world in which he has hosted events in Europe, the Middle East and North America.  He is the founder and promoter of previous events Ring Wars, Xplosion, Nak Muay, Muay Thai Grand Prix and now the CEO of Muay Thai World Cup.  He has co-promoted with Enfusion Live & Lion Fight in which a crossover event brought fighters in from each promotion to compete against each other.  
 

The partnership and journey between Kieran & Zachary Manywounds in the creation of Muay Thai World Cup has been an interesting one.  In 2018, the Tsuu T’ina Nation passed a law to bring a fight commission to the reserve. The Tsuu T’ina Combat Commission was formed. Kieran was then appointed as the WBC Muay Thai Representative for Canada. MTWC was formed and held its first event in November 2019 at the Seven Chiefs Sportsplex, bringing the best North American fighters together in a thrilling night. It was the first professional Muay Thai event in Canada for many years and broke records for crowd attendance (outside of the UFC), with 2335 fans coming in to enjoy the action. For the first time in Canadian history, 3 WBC Titles were on the line and Canadian fighters were placed in the WBC World Muay Thai rankings.

 
Kieran and MTWC then agreed a partnership with ONE Championship in 2023 , bringing the Road to ONE tournament to Canada. In an historic move , all records were broken in 2023 for gates and PPV for an combat sport outside of the UFC.

​

MTWC has since ventured into Ontario and will be looking to expand across North America , growing into the largest Muay Thai promotion.
