February 5 - [Myanma Alinn] An article that mentions Burmese boxing matches. This is from February 1943, a time in which Burma was occupied by the Japanese. Japan had set its sights on Burma three years earlier in order to cut off the British supply route to China's forces. When Aung San agreed to work with them to drive out the British they promised independence, but it never came - it was a facade.

The article announces the "Independence Aung Tha Pyay Festival" starting on February 15. It describes in detail the activities for that day. Tha Pyay refers to a kind of Eugenia tree which is used to honour stupas and is a symbol of peace and success, used to display triumph and to honour soldiers who have fought for said peace and triumph. It is driven around on this day by car, through various parts of Rangoon (More specifically from Shwedagon Pagoda towards U Wisara Rd. into Ahlone/U Htaung Bo Rd towards Kandawgyi into Bahan Rd.). The festival is held because the Japanese were planning to grant "independence" to Burma in six months.

Speeches will be held in which the Japanese government, it's Imperial Army and those who have given their lives for Burmese independence are thanked and honored. More specifically as treasured martyrs in the East Asia war. In addition to the prime minister, various chairpersons of Indian, Chinese, Japanese and Karen parties will also speech briefly. After much singing and chanting the afternoon activities are listed, including Burmese boxing at Kandawgyi. The programme for subsequent days is to be announced.

July 26 - [Journal Kyaw] In volume 6 of Journal Kyaw; The Weekly Thunderer, an image of General Aung San is printed presenting boxer U Sein Ni, a resident of Paingkyon village, with a trophy (lit. flag award) after a match. The Karen-Burmese friendship event was held in Kappali village in Hlaingbwe Township, Karen State.

The image is reproduced in one of Saya U Pan Thu's instructional guides from which the above description was taken. The original caption only mentions "a valiant boxing hero".
