On November 23 in Pathum Thani, Thailand, he will face local veteran Pipat Chaiporn (49-19-2, 32 KOs), by far his most accomplished and experienced opponent to date, for the vacant title.

Sakunts turned professional almost exactly three years ago. In 2024 he won the WBU world Super Welterweight title, and last February he added the GBC version to his resume.

Most recently, this past June, he moved up to Middleweight to win the WBC Asian title in Bangkok, and now he returns to “the land of smiles” for what will be his third straight bout in Thailand.

While Sakunts has taken part in four championship fights, Chairporn has been in no less than fifteen, winning eleven of them.

The fight headlines a show at Singmanassak Muaythai School, promoted by Manop Iamthuam.
