Early life and career beginnings[edit]
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]
Yodkhunpon challenged Capitan Petchyindee Academy for his Lumpinee Stadium Super Welterweight title on January 3, 2020. He lost the fight by unanimous decision.[4] The two of them fought a rematch a month later, with Capitan once against winning a decision.
Outside the ring[edit]
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.
