January 19th 1990-Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Bangkok, Thailand Muangchai Kittikasem (9-0, 6) vs Jeung Jae Lee (0-2)* In his second defense of the IBF Light Flyweight title Muangchai Kittikasem [เมืองชัย กิตติเกษม] faced off with little known Korean challenger Jeung Jae Lee. *Boxrec adds a note stating Lee was reportedly 14-1-1 entering this bout. Given how incomplete Boxrec is for Koreans around this time, there is genuine reason to believe that his Boxrec is very incomplete, though 14-1-1 does still need to be questioned it's self.
