   After 9 days of figthing in 3 rings for 8 hours each day, it was clear on the last day that
   Belarusia was the most victorious team by winning the team competition and by that
   making Thailand come in 2nd in the Male division.

   

   It was Morocco who won the Female division and Canada came in 2nd.

   The Best Male Boxer Award went to Sattra Paleenarm from Thailand and The Best
   Female Boxer award went to Miriam Nakamoto from USA.

   The Best Male Wai Kru award went to PanupunTanjad from Thailand and it was
   Hui Theng Nicole Chua from Singapore who won The Best Female Wai Kru.

   The Best Prospect Junior Male award went to Gokhan Kilic from Turkey and
   The Best Junior Female award went to Amy Wendy Robert Sun Prinie from Scotland,
