Cheam Adam outpointed Phan Sothy and Sok Ratha won by second-round disqualification Saturday to advance into the semifinals of CTN’s Kun Khmer Tournament of Champions. Phan Sothy (8-3-0) cut Cheam Adam (29-7-2) early with elbows, on the left temple in the first round and across the nose in the second, but a bloody Cheam Adam battled back, hurting Phan Sothy in the later rounds with kicks to the body and nearly putting him down in the fourth round. In the co-feature, Sok Ratha (6-3) could not recover from a low blow, prompting referee The Sarin to disqualify Seung Kangsan (24-3-9). Semifinals are scheduled for October 10 at the CTN boxing arena. Khun Makara will face Cheam Adam, and Sok Ratha will go against Poy Neurn.

RATTAN suppliers and processors are due to meet today in Phnom Penh to form the country’s first rattan association with support from the global conservation group WWF and the European Union. It would aim to provide Cambodian producers with new knowledge and experience related to rattan, processing techniques, trade and markets, according to a joint press release. “The project identified that processors and exporters are not familiar with using the environmentally friendly production techniques and that there is lack of understanding about international market requirements,” WWF Rattan Project Manager Ou Ratanak said in the statement.
