Amateur career

Sasakul was an amateur boxing star in Thailand. He had an amateur record record of 85 fights, winning 78 of them, and also earned the King's Cup for the Best Boxer.[2]

Olympic career

He represented Thailand as a Light Flyweight at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. The results of his fights were:

  • 1st round bye
  • Defeated Luis Rolon (Puerto Rico) 3-2
  • Defeated Maurice Maina (Kenya) 5-0
  • Lost to Róbert Isaszegi (Hungary) 2-3

Professional boxing career

Sasakul turned pro in 1991 and captured the WBC and Lineal flyweight titles with a win over Yuri Arbachakov in 1997. He defended the titles twice before losing to Manny Pacquiao by knockout in 1998 to earn Pacquiao his first championship titles.

On August 30, 2008, Sasakul challenged Cristian Mijares, the WBA and WBC unified super flyweight champion. However, he stopped in three rounds. According to a doctor who provided him medication after the match, this was the Thai boxer's last career fight. What might have become a disadvantage for Sasakul was that he had to go to a second flight to Mexico through Germany after having problems with the first flight which tried to go through Hong Kong. By the time he got to Mexico, the fight was only three days away and that he experienced jet lag.[3]
