Tiffany van Soest forced to sell her championship belt to pay off bills after not getting paid for title fight

The world of combat sports can be cruel.

Muay Thai kickboxing champion Tiffany van Soest posted a photo to her Instagram account revealing some corrupt news involving a Muay Thai kickboxing promotion. The Lion Fight champion says that she still has not been paid from Lion Fight Promotions for her championship bout that took place two months ago.

Van Soest captioned her post, “Unfortunately it has come to this. It’s a shame, but I have more than one and will win more in the future. #AndStill #Unpaid #WorldChampion #iThoughtProsGotPaid #thetruthhurts #heartbroken Thanks for everything @lionfightofficial”

Text in her photo says, “Lion Fight Promotions has still not paid me for my championship bout two months ago. I need to sell my World Title to pay my bills and relieve the debt accumulated in preparation for that bout.”
