HCMCThe 75kg boxer wins with points after a 4-half friendly match with Scottish rival Matthew McDonald on the evening of March 21.
Being rated higher, thanks to owning two WBA Asian and East Asian WBA belts, Truong Dinh Hoang joined the war cautiously. In front of an opponent with better height and arm span, the Vietnamese boxing champion avoids direct attacks. Instead, he does a lot of punches and round punches.

Matthew McDonald, Dinh Hoang’s rival, is also a professional boxer. Martial artist was born in Scotland but currently has Vietnamese nationality, causing surprises at the beginning of the game when he actively attacks, even neglects the defense.
Thanks to being six years younger, Dinh Hoang started to dominate the second half. The close pressure and blow of the boxer from Dak Lak made McDonald suffer many heavy hits, his face was stained with blood. At the end of the second half, Dinh Hoang seemed to have knocked out the opponent with a chain of attacks, but McDonald’s still managed to do it.
The double match still goes on until the end of the fourth half. Plump fitness and stamina help McDonald get better as the game goes on in the final seconds. At the end of the match, the daring counterattack of the Scottish boxer made Dinh Hoang stunned, even almost collapsing to the floor.
