Newly-crowned Universal Boxing Organization™ (UBO) Youth world Super Lightweight champion Ege Konuk is the UBO Boxer of the Month for May, 2025.

  
 

The 22-year-old Thailand-based southpaw from Turkey won the title on Saturday, may 31, at the World Siam Stadium in Bangkok, defeating fellow undefeated Chaiyapong Phongwankittikun.

In one of the best fights you will see in a long time, Konuk came off the floor in round four to rebound strongly after being in serious trouble, and won by extremely close Majority Decision (95-94, 95-94, 95-95).

It was some effort, and by far the best victory of his career, edging a very good opponent in Phongwankittikun, who arguably comes in at second place for this award.


 
 

Konuk, who is a former UBO Continental (Asia) Super Lightweight titlist, improved his professional record to 15-0 (8), and could be in line to fight for the UBO world title in not too long.
