Career

Biography

Yodthanong Photirat was born in the Nong Bua Lamphu Province in Northeastern Thailand, the hotbed of Muay thai. He was introduced to the sport by his older brother Yodkangwan and started practicing Muay thai after watching his brothers' fights when he was 8 years old.[2] He had his first fight at a temple fair in Ban Na Dee in his hometown and received a fight fee of 20 ฿.[3]

Early career

Before joining Fairtex in 2005, Yodsanklai fought for three camps - Saknipaporn, Sit-Khru-Od and Petchyindee.[3] On August 2005, fighting under the name of Yodsanklai Petchyindee (ยอดแสนไกล เพชรยินดี), Yodsanklai won one of the most prestigious Muay Thai titles, the Lumpinee Stadium belt, by knocking out Runglaew.[2] He became the 154 pound WBC Muay Thai World Champion by defeating Australian John Wayne Parr on December 10, 2005 in Gold Coast, Australia. In 2005 he won as well the Champion of Thailand (154 lb) title.

Yodsanklai defended his WBC title on November 11, 2006, against Mark Vogel in Wuppertal, Germany winning the fight by first round elbow knockout.

On June 30, 2006, Yodsanklai made his K-1 Max debut on a Superfight at the K-1 World MAX 2006 -World Championship Final- held in Yokohama, Japan against Kamal el Amrani, winning the fight by three round unanimous decision.[4]
