A popular Muay Thai camp on Kamala Beach in Phuket recently caused a stir online after posting photos of none other than Italian footballer Mario Balotelli engaging in rigorous training sessions at their facility.

The Facebook page Kamala Muay Thai shared last Friday, June 14, snapshots of the 33 year old striker accompanied by a message in both Thai and English:

“We are thrilled to have you training Muay Thai with our camp. It is an honour to have a football star of your calibre with us. We look forward to supporting you in your journey and helping you reach new heights in your training. Welcome to our team!”

The post, which included exclusive images of Balotelli in action, swiftly captured the attention of fans across Thailand and beyond. Supporters flooded the comments section with excitement, extending warm welcomes to the former Manchester City. Liverpool and Italy star as he immerses himself in the world of Muay Thai on the picturesque shores of Phuket, reported TPN National News.

In related news, an intense football match ended in chaos when fans set off flares, causing a vehicle to catch fire at the Thammasat University, Rangsit Centre. The incident left the car’s owner devastated, as the vehicle was uninsured and essential for daily work.

The fire occurred at 9pm on Sunday, June 16, following the conclusion of the Revo Cup final between Muangthong United and BG Pathum United, where BG Pathum emerged victorious with a score of 1-0.

In other news, a former footballer confessed to serious sexual assault and the possession of an astonishing number of indecent images of children. The ex-midfielder, who once played for Scottish clubs St Johnstone and Dunfermline Athletic in the 1980s and 90s, will now face the full force of the law.

The 61 year old Scotsman, originally from Dunfermline, was initially arrested after over 270,000 indecent photos and videos of children were allegedly discovered in his possession.
