Petchtanong Petchfergus

WBC and WMC Muay Thai World Champion Petchtanong Petchfergus hails from Udon Thani in Thailand’s northeastern Isan region.

Beginning his Muay Thai training at 8 years old, he began competing right away and soon moved to live at his training camp full-time due to an unstable home life.

Not long after, Petchtanong relocated to Bangkok to pursue the life of a professional Muay Thai boxer at the age of 12, and two years later he was headlining events at the famed Lumpinee Boxing Stadium and Rajadamnern Stadium.

Over a storied career spanning two decades and 400 bouts, he has faced many other Thai Champions including Superlek Kiatmoo9‘s uncle Singdam and Jo Nattawut. He has also competed under kickboxing rules around the world against some of the biggest names and is among the most experienced of his compatriots under the rule set.

A southpaw known for his powerful left kick and left punch, he has also trained with legends including Superbon and the famed Buakaw.

In November 2022, Petchtanong reached the pinnacle of kickboxing when he won the ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Title by defeating Japan’s Hiroki Akimoto.

A month later he was forced to relinquish his belt, but now the former divisional king has his sights set on reclaiming the prestigious strap he once held.
