Biography

Nilmungkorn is born in the Sisaket Province in the north east of Thailand.[5] He represents the Sudsakorn Muay Thai Gym in Pattaya and takes his name from his trainer Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee.[1]

Career

Muay Thai

In 2015, Nilmungkorn competed in the International Muay Thai Federation as an amateur and won the IMTF World Championship.[2]

In 2015, Nilmungkorn faced French Muaythai star Jimmy Vienot at MAX Muay Thai in Bangkok.[6] In the first round, Nilmungkorn landed a powerful elbow strike, flooring and opening the lip of Vienot,[5] but the Frenchman came back strong in the second round knocking him out.[7][8]

In 2016, Nilmungkorn was signed to SUPER Muaythai based in Bangkok. He competed and won the 75 kg tournament two years in a row (2016 & 2017).[3][9]

Lethwei

In May 2017, Nilmungkorn was offered to face Dave Leduc for the ILFJ Openweight World Championship at Lethwei in Japan 4 in Tokyo, Japan.[3] He replaced the previous challenger Cyrus Washington after he announced he was pulling out of the fight citing a hand injury.[10] Nilmungkorn accepted to fight KO to win traditional Lethwei rules with no scoring system.[11] Both fighters exchanged words at the pre-fight press conference, where Nilmungkorn stated that he will win the first Japanese Lethwei Belt, while Leduc was quoted saying he will finish Nilmungkorn quickly. Both fighters weighed-in at 79 kg.[12] At Tokyo Dome City Hall, in the first round, Leduc landed a punch hitting Nilmungkorn on the jaw, forcing him to use his allowed time-out.[13] Leduc won by knockout at 2:23sec of the second round.[14][15][16][17]
