CTN Kun Khmer Stadium

What to See at CTN Stadium

The Fight Card

A typical evening runs five bouts of two-minute rounds, mixing local Cambodian fighters with the occasional international opponent. Pradal Serey, known internationally as Kun Khmer, allows punches, kicks, elbows, and knees, plus clinch fighting — closer in style to Muay Thai than Western boxing, with a martial lineage Cambodians trace back to the 9th-century Angkor warriors.

A Live TV Broadcast

Because the stadium belongs to a working TV station, fights are filmed and broadcast live nationally — the atmosphere is a genuine mix of TV production and a packed local crowd, rather than a show staged purely for visitors.

Ringside Access

Tourist-oriented ringside packages (often bundled with hotel pickup and drinks) sit visitors close to the action; budget visitors can also simply turn up as part of the general audience.

How to Get to CTN Stadium

CTN’s studio and stadium are about 6km from central Phnom Penh — the most accessible of the city’s several TV-station fight venues (Bayon TV and others also host cards on different nights).

• Tuk-tuk or Grab: The simplest way to reach the studio from central Phnom Penh
• Organised tour: Several operators offer a ringside-seats-plus-transport package

Practical Tips

• Confirm the night’s schedule ahead of time — broadcast stations rotate fight nights and venues can shift
• This is a real sporting/TV event, not a recreation — expect a loud, partisan local crowd
• Bring cash for any door charges or drinks at the venue
• Cambodian fighters’ striking style favours elbows and knees more heavily than Thai boxing — worth knowing before watching
