Swedish Muay Thai sensation Vilda Ekhorn signs a multi-fight contract with Muay Thai For Life. She is the first fighter to ever do so.
According to Frontkick’s sister site Maximum Sports, the contract runs for two years. Ekhorn will receive a salary during the time and a bonus for every KO win.
“Vilda Ekhorn embodies what Muay Thai For Life is all about. She loves to fight hard and often. During 2023 she fought in the ring no less than 12 times. She is humble, respectful and yet extremely ferocious in the ring. And most importantly, she loves the sport of Muay Thai,” MTFL wrote on Instagram.
“The Multi-Fight Contract is part of MTFL Series expansion into becoming a permanent and regular player in the realm of Combat Sports. As of now, MTFL Series shall produce quality events on a regular basis with the best fighters that we can find.”
At MTFL 6.0 this past fall, Ekhorn cemented her status as one of the hottest prospects in the world as she defeated the decorated veteran Anne-Line Hogstad. The fight marked her debut as a professional fighter.
In 2023 she won the Muay Thai World Championships in Thailand after a string of impressive performances.
