Thailand WBC Boxing Champion just matched Floyd Mayweather’s 50-0 record

Congratulations to 32 year old Thai boxing champion Wanheng Menaythin on tying Floyd Mayweather’s impressive 50 win, zero loss professional boxing record.  Khun Menayothin has defended his WBC world title 9 successful times since winning the WBC 105lbs division championship in 2014 when he defeated Oswaldo Novoa in the 9th round by TKO.

Menayothin has held the title for 4 years and in between his mandatory title defenses for the WBC 105lbs division he has fought in 5 non title fights in boxing.  This is unusual because rarely do you see a champion take a fight where it is not a defense of their world title once they have won a prestigious belt, let alone stepping outside the division 5 times.

In an flashback to an different era, Menayothin has stayed busy competing inside of the ring, while most champions might fight 1 or 2 times in a year, Menayothin has defended his world title 9 times in the past 4 years with an additional 5 non title fights giving him 14 fights over the 48 month period. To pick up the 50th career win Wanheng Menayothin defeated #1 WBC contender Leroy Estrada by 5th round KO in Nakhon Ratchasima Thailand.
