Career history
Sitbangprachan turned professional in 1988. In 1992 he captured the IBF flyweight title with a KO win over champion Rodolfo Blanco at Imperial World Samrong, Samut Prakan province. When he won the world title he was considered a very famous and popular boxer, because during that time Thailand does not have any boxers reigning world champions. He defended the belt five times, including Arthur Johnson at Surat Thani Province Stadium, Surat Thani province, southern Thailand and a split decision win over Jose Luis Zepeda in May 1994 in Ratchaburi province. After the bout, Zepada made a request to the IBF asking for a rematch, because Zepada did not accept the decision. IBF has ordered them to rematch. But Sitbangprachan finally retired on November 25 of the same year by holding a press conference at the Parliament House.[1] Sitbangprachan retiring undefeated at 24-0.[2][1]
Comeback
Sitbangprachan returned to boxing in 1996 and fought and won one bout. He then returned in 2000 and fought and won two bouts before retiring for good. He is one of a select group of boxing world champions who were never defeated in their professional career.
