Sinsamut Klinmee

Sinsamut Klinmee is a dreamer like billions of people in the world, but he is one of the few who chased after his dream. 

The Pattaya-born striker hails from a family of World Champions in Muay Thai and boxing, who he would regularly see training in their gym during his childhood. The passion and drive of his close relatives were so infectious that he started to train as early as 4 years old. At age 7, he won his very first fight and looked to continue down this path.

Unfortunately, his larger size made it difficult for him to find a worthy opponent as he moved up the ranks, and he faced the same roadblock upon being drafted into the Thai armed forces.

With the insatiable desire to compete at the highest level, Sinsamut decided to transition to boxing during his service. His undeniable talent helped him win so many bouts that the army sent him to the national boxing camp. He later won a national boxing title at the legendary  Lumpinee Stadium and competed against Olympic boxers at the Military Sports Council competition in 2019.

Despite showcasing his phenomenal skills in boxing, Muay Thai remained his true love. In fact, he contacted ONE Championship’s social media accounts with the hope of competing in Muay Thai on the promotion’s global stage.

In 2022, his wish was granted, and he was thrust into battle against kickboxing legend Nieky Holzken at ONE X. He shocked the world by knocking out the Dutch icon, rewarding the organization’s trust for taking a chance on him. The Thai quickly followed it up with another KO win a few months later, this time against WBC Muay Thai World Champion Liam Nolan. 

With two knockout victories against elite opposition, Sinsamut has the opportunity to keep his fairy tale run alive when he challenges for the inaugural ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Title at ONE on Prime Video 3 this October 21.
