International Lethwei Federation Japan, also known as ILFJ, is a Japanese Lethwei promotion company with headquarters in Tokyo.[5]

History

In 2016, the ILFJ acquired a ‘’Grade-A’’ promoter licence from the Myanmar Traditional Lethwei Federation,[3] allowing them to organize traditional Lethwei events in Japan.[6][7] ILFJ then entered into a partnership with Myanmar businessman Mr. Wunna[8] CEO of Myanmar Media Group (MMG),[3] the organizer of the Myanmar Lethwei World Championship, to share fighters and co-organize the Lethwei events in Japan.[9] The first ILFJ event titled Lethwei Grand Prix in Japan 2016,[10] was held on 27 October 2016 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.[5][3]

On April 18, 2017, the Ambassador of Myanmar to Japan attended the first ever Lethwei world title fight headlining two non-Burmese in the sport's history at Lethwei in Japan 3.[11] The event organized by ILFJ featured reigning champion Dave Leduc vs Adem Yilmaz inside the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.[12]

On July 10, 2022, hosted a 10 fights Lethwei tournament named Lethwei Unbeatable in Oyabe, Japan.[13][14][15]

Media coverage

After having an inaugural first event in the Japan in Tokyo (Lethwei Grand Prix 2016), FITE TV[16] signed a multi-year agreement to broadcast the promotion's Lethwei events.[17]

In 2017, the ILFJ signed a broadcasting deal with MNTV[18] to be aired in Myanmar[19] and livestreaming[20] available in Japan on AbemaTV.[21]
