Saenchai Muay Thai Gym is baffled after being taunted with comments like, "If you're really good, go fight in ONE," and accused of only facing weak opponents.
On 11 April 2026, Saenchai Muay Thai Gym, a 45-year-old legendary Thai boxer, known in the past as one of the most skilled pound-for-pound Muay Thai fighters, made headlines.
"The Sakon Nakhon Boxing Legend" has won numerous championships, including Junior Bantamweight 115 lbs at Lumpinee Stadium, Bantamweight 118 lbs at Lumpinee Stadium twice, Interim Featherweight 126 lbs PABA title in professional boxing, Super Featherweight 130 lbs at Lumpinee Stadium twice, Lightweight 135 lbs MTAA title, Lightweight 135 lbs Toyota Cup title, Lightweight 135 lbs at Lumpinee Stadium, Lightweight 135 lbs WMC title, Super Lightweight 140 lbs WBC Diamond title, Welterweight 147 lbs WPMF title, and Welterweight 147 lbs Muay Thai Warriors title.
He also holds titles such as the Toyota Marathon 140 lbs championship, Thai Fight Kard Chuek 67 kg title, Thai Fight 67 kg title twice, Thai Fight 70 kg title twice, and the Phoenix Super Lightweight 140 lbs championship.
However, he continues to face relentless taunts from keyboard warriors claiming that recently he only fights weak opponents, or questioning why he doesn't compete in ONE Championship, which is currently very popular.
Saenchai posted regarding this issue: "I was going to stop responding since I'm getting older. Just let me make a living in my profession. I'm not harming anyone. Relax a bit in life so you won't be so troubled. Why make such a fuss? So much complaining."
For his next fight, Saenchai will face Wu Guan Hao from China at a 69 kg weight class during the Thai Fight event at Wat Pa Wang Nam Yen on 19 April, starting from 18:20 onward.
