This appointment makes Meciaz and Predator MMA Indonesia the official representatives of WBC International in Indonesia.{{Cite web |date=2020-07-22 |title=Bos Predator MMA dan TNI Bangun Generasi Berprestasi di Indonesia {{!}} AsiaToday.id |url=https://asiatoday.id/read/bos-predator-mma-dan-tni-bangun-generasi-berprestasi-di-indonesia |access-date=2025-04-18 |language=en-US}}
Policy and Work Program
With his position as President of WKF Indonesia, Meciaz determined that the organization would no longer be under the umbrella of the Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI), but rather stand as the official representative of the World Kickboxing Federation for Indonesia.{{Cite web |last=SKOR.ID |title=Atlet Asal Solo Jadi Presiden Federasi Kickboxing Indonesia |url=https://www.skor.id/post/atlet-asal-solo-jadi-presiden-federasi-kickboxing-indonesia-01369353 |access-date=2025-04-18 |website=www.skor.id |language=id}}
Meciaz's work program as President of WKF Indonesia includes organizing an international kickboxing competition in 2022, covering amateur, pro-am, and professional categories. To realize this program, WKF Indonesia plans to work with Predator MMA Indonesia as a provider of facilities, logistics, and media broadcasting.{{Cite web |last=SKOR.ID |title=Atlet Asal Solo Jadi Presiden Federasi Kickboxing Indonesia |url=https://www.skor.id/post/atlet-asal-solo-jadi-presiden-federasi-kickboxing-indonesia-01369353#:~:text=Pendiri%20Sasana%20Predator%20MMA%20Surakarta,%20Jeremy%20Meciaz,%20terpilih%20memimpin%20Federasi%20Kickboxing%20(WKF)%20Indonesia |access-date=2025-04-18 |website=www.skor.id |language=id}}{{Cite web |title=Predator MMA Indonesia |url=https://aadtoday.com/detail/2323/predator-mma-indonesia |access-date=2025-04-18 |website=aadtoday.com |language=id}}{{Cite web |last=Mukti |first=Taufan Bara |date=2023-05-30 |title=Predator MMA Apresiasi Perhatian Prabowo Subianto untuk Olahraga Beladiri Indonesia |url=https://bola.bisnis.com/read/20230530/60/1660580/predator-mma-apresiasi-perhatian-prabowo-subianto-untuk-olahraga-beladiri-indonesia |access-date=2025-04-18 |website=Bisnis.com |language=id}}
As President of WBC Muay Thai Indonesia, Meciaz plans to organize the first WBC Muay Thai bout in Indonesia, as well as an upgrading of muay thai referees and judges. The main objectives of WBC's presence in Indonesia are to produce muay thai athletes for the WBC Muay Thai world championships and facilitate prestigious muay thai matches in Indonesia.{{Cite web |date=2021-03-02 |title=CEO Predator MMA Dipercaya Pimpin Federasi Kickboxing dan Muay Thai Dunia untuk Indonesia {{!}} AsiaToday.id |url=https://asiatoday.id/read/ceo-predator-mma-dipercaya-pimpin-federasi-kickboxing-dan-muay-thai-dunia-untuk-indonesia |access-date=2025-04-18 |language=en-US}}
Contribution and Purpose
Jeremy Meciaz hopes that with the existence of WKF Indonesia and WBC Muay Thai Indonesia, promoters who want to hold kickboxing and muay thai matches can hold them under the umbrella of an international organization without having to affiliate with KONI. This is expected to accelerate the development of both martial arts sports in Indonesia.{{Cite web |last=Mukti |first=Taufan Bara |date=2024-07-04 |title=Jeka Saragih Berharap Predator MMA Lahirkan Atlet Internasional |url=https://bola.bisnis.com/read/20240704/60/1779428/jeka-saragih-berharap-predator-mma-lahirkan-atlet-internasional |access-date=2025-04-18 |website=Bisnis.com |language=id}}
As a WBC Muay Thai Indonesia matchmaker, Meciaz also has the important task of facilitating quality muay thai matches and ensuring that every match held has a clear legal entity, so it is not illegal.{{Cite web |title=Dihina di Facebook, Atlet MMA Asal Solo Jeremy Meciaz Lapor Polisi |url=https://jateng.suara.com/read/2020/10/14/170340/dihina-di-facebook-atlet-mma-asal-solo-jeremy-meciaz-lapor-polisi |access-date=2025-04-18 |website=Suarajawatengah.id |language=id}}
