On March 17, 2012, Buakaw’s sponsor Yokkao Boxing announced on Twitter that he would return to training. At this time they are referring to him as Buakaw Banchamek. He had resumed training at the “newly-built” Banchamek gym (named after him), as of March 22, 2012. He was scheduled to fight Mickael Cornubet at ThaiFight on April 17, 2012.
As of March 30, 2012 he was prevented from fighting at Thai Fight in April 2012, until he files a complaint with Sports Authority of Thailand, and later is proven right about his claims of being “unfairly treated” by Por. Pramuk.[9] On April 4 he said that his fight name for the fight later that month, would be “Buakaw”, and that he “may not use the name of the boxing camp Por. Pramuk”.
His first fight after leaving Por Pramuk Gym was a success. He knocked out Rustem Zaripov at 2:45 of the 2nd round with very accurate punches. As of May 31, 2012 Buakaw told the press that he wanted to end the dispute between him and Por Pramuk Gym; therefore he decided to retire. Buakaw has been seen in jiujitsu, judo and wrestling classes, showing signs of a possible MMA career. This would allow Buakaw to fight without breaching his contract with the Por Pramuk boxing camp. Returning to the ring, on August 17, 2012 Buakaw defeated Abdoul Toure by way of TKO in Round 2.
He beat Mauro Serra via TKO in the quarter-finals of the 2012 Thai Fight 70 kg Tournament at Thai Fight 2012: King of Muay Thai in Bangkok, Thailand on October 23, 2012.
