Biography

Petchtanong started training in Muay Thai at 7 years old in a small camp close to his home. He quickly went to the live at the camp full time to escape an abusive familial situation.

At 12, he moved to Bangkok following his mom. There he joined the Sit.Or gym through his uncle which took him to a level high enough to headline shows at Rajadamnern and Lumpinee stadiums at the age of 14.[5]

After changing gyms multiple times, Petchtanong was later sponsored by the Banchamek gym and went living, teaching and fighting in Australia for 2 years.[6]

He came back to Thailand in 2015 and went on a winning streak in the Super Muay Thai promotion. He received calls to participate in various kickboxing world tournaments in China, prominently Kunlun Fight and Wu Lin Feng.

On January 19, 2019, he won the Wu Lin Feng World Cup final, defeating Jomthong Chuwattana.

Petchtanong participated in the 2020 Wu Lin Feng 67 tournament. He won the semifinal bout against Liu Yaning by KO, but lost a unanimous decision to Jia Aoqi in the finals.[7]

ONE Championship

On August 18, 2020, Petchtanong signed with ONE Championship.[8] In his debut at ONE Championship: A New Breed 3 on September 18, 2020, Petchtanong lost by knockout to Capitan Petchyindee Academy just 6 seconds into the first round, setting a new record for fastest knockout in ONE Super Series history.[9]

Petchtanong made his sophomore appearance in the promotion against Zhang Chenglong at ONE Championship: Revolution on September 24, 2021.[10] He won the bout via unanimous decision.[11]

Petchtanong faced Hiroki Akimoto for the ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Championship at ONE 163 on November 19, 2022.[12] He won the fight by split decision.[13][14]

On July 26, 2023, it was announced that Petchtanong was stripped of the title and suspended from ONE Championship for a year due to testing positive for both metenolone and boldenone, banned substance according to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The positive result came from an out of competition test performed on June 10, 2023.[15]
