Yokthai Sithoar
Thai boxer
Manit Klinmee (Thai: มานิตย์ กลิ่นมี; born December 25, 1974), known professionally as Yokthai Sithoar (Thai: หยกไทย ศิษย์ อ.), is a Thai former professional Muay Thai fighter and boxer. He is a former Lumpinee Stadium Super Flyweight Champion and also a WBA World Super Flyweight Champion in boxing.
Biography and career
He was born in Chonburi Province, eastern Thailand, along with his brother Tappaya Sit-Or and his nephew Rambaa Somdet. He trained in Muay Thai since childhood, and they later became prominent and successful Muay Thai kickboxers.
Yokthai became a famous Muay Thai fighter under Songchai Rattanasuban's stable. Known for the power of his punches, he often defeated his opponents by knockout. He received the nickname "The Hell Cyclone Fist" for his devastating punching power.
Because his fists were so effective, he was backed by his promoter, Songchai, to turn to a professional boxing career in 1994, along with Pichit Chor Siriwat, in the junior flyweight division, with Cuba's Ismael Salas as a trainer. He had four wins and captured the vacant PABA super flyweight title against a Russian boxer; he won his next five bouts, including three title defenses.
On August 24, 1996, Yokthai challenged for the WBA super flyweight world title against Venezuelan titleholder Alimi Goitia at Kamphaengphet Provincial Stadium, Kamphaeng Phet Province; he won by TKO in the eighth round.

Why this record matters
The phrase “thai boxer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6641881. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1974, 1994 and 1996.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
