The focus of the tournament is on 3 matches in a 2-on-2 format, in which 2 pairs of Vietnamese boxers will compete with opponents from Cambodia, and 1 pair of home boxers will face off against a Chinese team.

Vietnamese martial artists such as Nguyen Thanh Thoan - Ha The Anh (Manh Long Dai Viet), Do Nguyen Minh Quyen - Phan Huy Hoang (Dong Son), Le Van Vu - Vo Minh Nghia (Au Lac) will represent the fighting spirit and strength of Vietnam.

Competitors from China and Cambodia are also not far behind, notably the duo from China: Truong Yen Long - Gia Dien Tan (Phong Hoa Son Lam) is attracting a lot of attention.

Before the match, the duo Phong Hoa Son Lam (China) suddenly released a video sending a "warning" to Manh Long Dai Viet (Vietnam), declaring that they would make the two Vietnamese fighters "lie on the floor in pain" and that this would be their "last match". This provocative challenge immediately caused a stir in the Vietnamese MMA community. Not letting his opponent overwhelm him, fighter Ha The Anh responded firmly: "We will teach them a lesson they will never forget." The determination and confidence of "Manh Long Dai Viet" promises to bring a dramatic, emotional match at LION Championship 24.

LION Championship is the largest mixed martial arts (MMA) tournament in Vietnam, jointly organized by the Vietnam Mixed Martial Arts Federation (VMMAF) and Vietnam Mixed Martial Arts Joint Stock Company (VIMMA).
