MUAY THAI WORLD SUPER WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION, BAXTER HUMBY

-- LIVING LIFE BEYOND LIMITS --





Los Angeles, CA - You can't miss Baxter Humby. He is very well spoken and
has presence.



In the ring, he is an athlete of incredible strength, speed and flexibility.
Don't blink, you may just miss the kick that landed his opponent on the
floor in a knock out.



In the MuayThai world, he is known as the one-arm bandit because he has no
right hand. It was amputated at birth, just below his elbow, after becoming
entangled with the umbilical cord.



Gliding across the ring, Baxter dominates his opponents and remains
aggressive and powerful from round one through to the last round.



When asked how he developed the attitude that has taken him to the top as
World Super Welterweight Champion holding a number of different title belts
including IKKC USA Kickboxing Champion, IMTC World Middleweight Champion and
IKBA International Kickboxing Champion. He credits his father for giving
him the confidence to be better than average. His father never failed to
tell others, "Keep an eye on my son, he's going to make it. He's going to
be a somebody". His father has passed away, but his family support remains
strong. Baxter is engaged to be married. He was told that this
announcement will break a lot of hearts but he says that he has a wonderful
girl and although he lives a life where MuayThai is central, his family
remains his number one priority.



So, what is MuayThai? This prestigious national sport of Thailand with a
history dating back to 1560 A.D. has an international fan base that span
across the world. MuayThai literally means Thai Boxing and is known as The
Art of the Eight Limbs. This style of boxing incorporates the use of
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbow_%28strike%29> elbows, and
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_%28strike%29> knees and allows the
fighter to execute strikes using eight points of contact.



Baxter worked hard to earn his title at the very top of the MuayThai sport.
He was born in Canada. His interest in sports led him to take up running at
age 11 and martial arts at 17. He ran for the Canadian National Track Team
in <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcelona> Barcelona in
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992> 1992 and in
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin> Berlin in
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994> 1994. Baxter initially trained in Tae
Kwon Do and as a result, his fight style incorporates a lot of this initial
training. Baxter is legendary for his kicks.



Baxter will be defending his title against Jiangtao Dong (China) in the
International 'Champion of Champions' MuayThai fight night which will be
held June 20, 2008 starting 9pm local time in Jamaica. Hailed as the
greatest fight card in MuayThai history, this non-stop action pact event
will be available LIVE on pay per view on www.istreamyoustream.com
<http://www.istreamyoustream.com/> for an advance purchase price of $14.95.
There will be 9 World Title Fights at stake. 9 Countries participating, all
on one night. Proceeds from this history making event will be used to
provide computers and establish technology learning centers in the primary
schools in Jamaica through CCGI Foundation. CCGI's mission is to eventually
equip all the primary schools in Jamaica with computers.



Baxter is ready for this World Title Championship Fight. He warns his
opponent to be ready, because he will be.



When asked what words of wisdom he wants to impart, he doesn't hesitate to
share the words that he lives by, "The only limits you have are the ones you
put on yourself".

Here's a little trivia, do you know who delivered the punch through the
Sandman's chest in Spider-man 3? Yes, standing in for Tobey Maguire, the
punch that took out the Sandman was delivered by Baxter Humby.

He will be one of 18 professional Muay Thai fighters, representing 9
countries including USA, Thailand, UK, France, Canada, Australia, Japan,
Holland, and China, through a grueling full rules battle to win a title.
According to the buzz already generated, the fight card is possibly "the
greatest fight card in 15 years outside of Thailand". The fight will be
streamed live via online pay per view on www.istreamyoustream.com
<http://www.istreamyoustream.com/> .
