Biography and boxing career
He was born into a family whose father owned the "Singmanasak Boxing Gym" (ค่ายมวยสิงห์มนัสศักดิ์). His older brother used to compete in Muay Thai under the ring name "Manopchai Singmanasak" (มานพชัย สิงห์มนัสศักดิ์) and his younger sister was once a female Muay Thai kickboxer. During his childhood, Sirimongkol enjoyed performing in the Thai folk theatre form Likay (ลิเก; Thai traditional dance), which involved both singing and dancing. Under concerns that he would become a Katoey (กะเทย; Thai transgender), Sirimongkol's father forced him to take up boxing, which he initially disliked.
He began competing in the amateur boxing tournament in highschool division before turning pro. He won the WBU Super flyweight and Bantamweight titles in 1995. In August 1996, he became the WBC Bantamweight Champion, by challenging interim champion José Luis Bueno of Mexico at Phitsanulok Provincial Stadium, Phitsanulok province. At the age of 19, he scored a fifth-round knockout in impressive fashion. He had qualified for the title shot with a victory over Thanomsak Sithbaobay aka Khaoyai Maha Sarakham (ถนอมศักดิ์ ศิษย์โบ๊เบ๊, เขาใหญ่ มหาสารคาม), an elder Thai boxer who had unsuccessfully challenged for the world championship three times.
He defended the WBC bantamweight title three times before losing the title to former Japanese world champion Joichiro Tatsuyoshi in November 1997 at Osaka-jō Hall in Osaka, Japan.
Sirimongkol then put together another impressive winning streak and won the vacant WBC Super featherweight title when he defeated Kengo Nagashima on August 24, 2002 by knockout in second round. He held the title for one year before he lost to Jesús Chávez.
In 2009, he was arrested for possession of Ya ba (ยาบ้า; tablets of methamphetamine and caffeine popular in Thailand). While incarcerated in prison, he was responsible for teaching boxing to other inmates. During this time he still boxed and won the WBC Asia Intercontinental Welterweight title. He was pardoned 4 years into his 20-year sentence.
In 2017, he would suffer his first defeat in 14 years to Uzbek boxer Azizbek Abdugofurov.[1]
Bare-knuckle boxing
Sirimongkol was scheduled to make his bare-knuckle boxing debut at BKFC Thailand 1: The Game Changer on December 18, 2021. His opponent was Iranian Brazilian jiu-jitsu and full contact karate practitioner Reza Goodary. Despite being the shorter fighter by 27 centimeters, Sirimongkol was in control of the majority of the fight and went on to win via split decision.[2][3]
Sirimongkol is scheduled to face Mike Vetrila for the inaugural BKFC Thailand Light Heavyweight Championship at BKFC Thailand 2: Iconic Impact on May 7, 2022.[4] He won the close fight via majority decision to become the first BKFC Thailand Light Heavyweight Champion.[5]
Entertainment career
Due to his good looks and fame, he earned the alias Teppabud na yok (เทพบุตรหน้าหยก, "handsome divinity") from Thai boxing fans. After he lost WBC world title to Tatsuyoshi in late 1997, he was persuaded to enter show business. He has modeled for the cover of a women's fashion magazine, co-starred in several TV dramas and movies, such as Pret Wat Suthat on Channel 7 (2003), a Thai martial arts film Choocolate (2008), and co-starred in the rock band Motive's MV with Dom Hetrakul, etc.
In 2005, he was scandalized by nude photos when police officers have detected pornographic magazines featuring his photos catered towards gay audiences sold at Or Tor Kor Market opposite the Chatuchak Weekend Market.[6]
