I am known as Thailand’s ‘Aquaman’, and this will be my first fight in Malaysia!
My first fight was in a Pattaya bar, when I was 7 years old.
I got 100 baht (around US$3/RM10) for that fight, plus tips from tourists.
In just one fight, I was able to buy a cool bicycle that captured the eyes of all my friends at school. I was so proud of myself.
I started my own Muay Thai training at the age of 4 but took it more seriously under my father’s training a few years later.Being born in Pattaya, Thailand, my family ran the gym, which meant that I encountered experienced fighters during their training sessions daily.
When I was a child, I would see the gym members return from running every morning. I watched them train every morning. When I came back from school, I still saw them training.
My uncles are all Muay Thai Champions and famous Muay Thai fighters. You may have heard the names Yokthai Sit-Or, Rambaa Somdet, and Tappaya Sit-Or. We have WBC and WBA [Boxing] World Champions in our family.
I admired them and always dreamt of becoming like them. I was always excited to watch them fight.I didn’t plan to do Muaythai as my career, and I competed only when I wanted to. But as I got older, it became my career, now that I’m 26. And I aim to be the ONE Lightweight Muay Thai champion!
For those who want to be full-time professional Muay Thai fighters, my advice is to be patient and train very hard, and you will succeed from there.
Catch Sinsamut Klinmee fighting against Regian Eersel for the inaugural ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Title at ONE on Prime Video 3, which will take place on October 22 at the Axiata Arena.
