World Champion Pungluang Sor Singyu

Earlier this month we sent a number of interview requests to various Asian promoters. One of those promoters to return our request was Dr. Siraphop OneSongchai Ratanasuban, the head of OneSongchai. Dr Sirahop kindly passed on some questions we had for current WBO Bantamweight world champion Pungluang Sor Singyu, who is currently enjoying his second reign as the WBO Bantamweight champion, and returned the answers to us earlier this week.

The exciting and fun to watch 27 year old has been a professional since 2004 and has run up an excellent record of 51-3 (35) with wins over Eden Sonsona, Monico Laurente, Rey Megrino, AJ Banal and most recently Ryo Akaho. The aggressively minded Thai is now set to return to the ring on February 12th as he defends the title against Filipino challenger Jetro Pabustan

AB-Could you perhaps tell our readers something about yourself, for example what got you in to boxing? Did you have much of an amateur or Muay Thai background?

PSS- I got in Professional Muaythai with more than 100 fights first, then I go into boxing as a replaced boxer, then I was good.  So I turn to Prof. boxing right away.

AB-And staying on that theme, how would you describe yourself as a boxer?

PSS- I am training hard.  It is ืnot god gifted.  I am diligent.  

AB-Who currently makes up your team? And have you worked with those particular people since the start of your career?

PSS- I have promoter madame Pairyakorn Ratanasuban, manager Sorjor Sanya Sor Singyu, trainer Aek.

AB-As we are just a few weeks away from your first defense, of your second reign, as WBO Bantamweight championship can you tell us how your
preparations have gone so far? Have you been sparring with anyone different to usual?

PSS- I got Philippine trainer.  My promoter invests me with good basic trainer.  

AB-What do you know about Jetro Pabustan, your upcoming opponent?

PSS- I am not worry.  If I fight in Thailand.  I know Jetro is from Philippine with strong Manny Pacquio backed him up.  The best boxer in the world.

AB-We know all 3 of your losses have come when you have fought outside of Thailand, do you feel there was a reason for those losses? If there an advantage of fighting at home in Thailand?

PSS- Home town always rule 100%.  I won for sure in Thailand because I train well with good foods, good used to weather.

AB-Given that you have fought a lot of notable names, could you tell us who the best opponent that you've faced has been?

PSS- I remember my best opponent are boxers who beated me.  They teach me not to be careless and train harder
