Top kickboxer Tiffany Timebomb forced to sell belt because promotion won’t pay up

SportsJOE

A sad state of affairs.

Renowned kickboxer Tiffany van Soest has resorted to selling her world championship belt online in order to pay bills.

The Lion Fight featherweight champion has claimed that she has not been paid by the promotion and has debt accumulated from her preparations that went into winning the belt.

The 26-year-old American took to her Instagram for two reasons: 1) to name and shame Lion Fight, the Muay Thai promotion and, 2) to publicise her belt which has gone up for sale with a starting price of $500.00.

The promotion themselves still have no problem using the champion for their own publicity though.

Tiffany Timebomb is still one of the featured fighters on their home page.
