Tun Tun Min's championship belt, which was put up for auction to support flood victims, sold for Ks.50 million, according to sources. The auction, which concluded on September 20, was held at the Theinbyu Boxing Club in Yangon. An unnamed bidder won the belt with a final bid of Ks.50 million.

"There was no higher bid, so the belt went to the individual who paid the Ks.50 million. We appreciate the support," said Tun Tun Min.

He plans to personally donate the proceeds to those affected by the ongoing floods and others in need of assistance.

Tun Tun Min is set to face Kyaw Swa Win in the Myanmar Lethwei World Championship (MLWC9) on September 22 at Theinphyu Lethwei Stadium in Yangon. The event will feature seven open-weight matches, including the much-anticipated bout between the two fighters. Ticket prices range from K10,000 to K100,000.
