Pichit Chor Siriwat
Thai boxer
Pichit Chor Siriwat (Thai: พิชิต ช.ศิริวัฒน์; stylized as Pichit Siriwat; born 31 January 1975), also known as Pichitnoi Sitbangprachan (พิชิตน้อย ศิษย์บางพระจันทร์), is a retired Thai professional boxer and Muay Thai fighter who was the WBA junior flyweight world champion in the late 1990s.
Biography and boxing career
Pichit is the younger brother of Pichit Sitbangprachan, a Thai boxer who won the IBF flyweight world title in the early 1990s. Both were boxers under Songchai Rattanasuban's stable.
Pichit made his professional boxing debut under the name "Pichitnoi Sitbangprachan" (The Little Pichit) and got his first world title shot on October 9, 1994, against WBA junior flyweight champion Leo Gámez of Venezuela at Ramkhamhaeng University. He lost by TKO in the sixth round due to limited experience.
Songchai continued to support his career and changed his ring name to "Pichit Chor Siriwat" after politician Chaipak Siriwat, who became his sponsor. In 1995, he won the PABA light flyweight title and defended it once. He earned a second world title opportunity on December 3, 1996, against Japanese titleholder Keiji "Prince" Yamaguchi at Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium in Osaka. This time, he won the championship by TKO in the second round.
He went on to defend his title five times, including a win over veteran Thai boxer Kaaj Chartbandit (Hadao CP Gym), who had previously challenged Leo Gámez for the world title in 1994 but was unsuccessful.
