A WBC Kun Khmer championship belt arrived in Cambodia at the end of March 2025 after a campaign to present the sport's activity and heritage to international boxing officials.

AKP reported that a championship event was planned for April 14 in Preah Sihanouk, with Cambodian athletes facing overseas opponents and world-title contests included on the card.

For fighters, recognition of this kind can create a pathway toward better regulated and more visible competition. For supporters, it puts the Kun Khmer name and the Cambodian flag in front of a wider international audience.
