A Thai boxer kicked his opponent in the face during two consecutive fights while the opponent was already down, before losing by foul.
On 9 Feb 2026 GMT+7, during the Chao Muay Thai event held on 7 Feb 2026 GMT+7 at Om Noi Boxing Stadium, Dao Nuea S. Sanphet, the blue corner fighter, delivered a knee strike to the face of Kledphet Sak Inter, the red corner fighter, while Kledphet had already lost his balance and fallen. The referee ruled Kledphet Sak Inter the winner by foul.
However, the incident sparked drama on social media as netizens widely agreed that this behavior should not have happened. They viewed Dao Nuea's action as intentional and not a natural follow-through kick.
Looking back at the previous fight, the page 'Mr. Pong' posted a clip showing Dao Nuea kicking his opponent while the latter was already off balance and down, meaning he kicked his opponent in the face in two consecutive fights.
