Seksan “The Man Who Yields to No One” Or Kwanmuang

While Thai legend Seksan Or Kwanmuang is now regarded as one of the most dangerous Muay Thai athletes of all time, his story did not begin this way. Because Seksan was bullied at school when he was 9 years old, his father — a former fighter — decided to take him to a Muay Thai gym to build his confidence. Seksan began competing in the ring at the age of 10 and quickly earned a reputation as a formidable competitor throughout Nakhon Si Thammarat.

After he turned 15 years old, Seksan moved to Bangkok to pursue a professional career in Muay Thai. This was a game changer for the Thai superstar, and his hard work and dedication helped him become an internationally renowned Muay Thai fighter.

Seksan went on to win some of the most prestigious accolades in Muay Thai, including a Rajadamnern Stadium World Title and a WBC Muay Thai World Title. He also secured belts from Omnoi and Channel 7 stadiums. His most notable achievement was winning the Sports Authority of Thailand Fighter of the Year Award in 2015.

He has made a name for himself by taking on the sport’s biggest names, including Rodtang Jitmuangnon, Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong, Superlek Kiatmoo9, and many more. Seksan’s career was recently capped by a victory over Tyson Harrison in his ONE Championship debut in 2023, which earned him a US$50,000 performance bonus.
