Biography and career

Early life and career

Yodkhunpon Sitmonchai was born Anont Iakarnna in Samut Sakhon, Thailand. He fought his first match at the age of six, securing a victory. He joined the distinguished Sitmonchai Gym at the age of eight and trained there until 2020.

He gained recognition early in his career for his speed, power and explosiveness. At the age of 16, he achieved impressive victories over notable Thai champions such as Aekmongkol, Kwankao, Jaisoo, Tingtong, and Yodtuantong. Yodkhunpon competes in the featherweight division and is known for his technical expertise, agility, and powerful strikes. Yodkhunpon participated in the 2014 Glory Featherweight Contendership Tournament at Glory 17: Los Angeles in Inglewood, California, US on June 21, 2014. He was defeated by Gabriel Varga in the semi-finals via unanimous decision.[2][3]

On March 17, 2018 Yodkhunpon won the TOP KING World Series in the 70 kg division. He defeated Capitan Petchyindee Academy by decision in the semifinals and Manaowan Sitsongpeenong by decision in the final after scoring a knockdown to capture the 500,000 baht cash prize.[4]

Yodkhunpon challenged Capitan Petchyindee Academy for his Lumpinee Stadium Super Welterweight title on January 3, 2020. He lost the fight by unanimous decision.[5] The two of them fought a rematch a month later, with Capitan once against winning a decision.

Yodkhunpon faced Sajad Sattari for the vacant Rajadamnern Stadium Welterweight (147 lbs) Championship on April 15, 2023. After five rounds he lost the fight by unanimous decision.[6]

On September 29, 2024, Yodkhunpon took part in an 8-man one night night tournament for the vacant K-1 Super Lightweight (-65kg) title at K-1 World MAX 2024. In the quarterfinals he knocked out Can Pinar with punches in the first round.[7] In the semifinals he stopped Ionuț Popa after two knockdowns in the first round to advance in the tournament.[8] In the final he faced Shu Inagaki and defeated him by majority decision to capture the vacant belt.[9]

Outside the ring

Beyond his commitment to Muay Thai, Yodkhunpon Sitmonchai has pursued higher education at Rattana Bandit University, where he completed an undergraduate degree in Business Accounting. In February 2023 he achieved his dream of opening his own gym, Yodkhunpon Fight Club, which is located an hour outside of Bangkok in Om Yai, Nakhon Pathom.
