Hong Sovan Chansothy (Khmer: ហុង សុវណ្ណចន្ទសុធី), born in 2003 in Kampong Speu Province, is a rising star in the Kun Khmer fighting scene. Standing at 1.70 meters and weighing 60 kg, Chansothy trains at the Special Forces Command under the guidance of his trainer, Hang Makhen.
Journey into Kun Khmer
Entering the world of Kun Khmer in 2018, Sothy had a strong passion for this martial art. Although his father supported him in joining the sport, his mother was initially not in favor. However, she now approves of his journey. Chansothy believes that the sport will help improve his family’s livelihood.
Fighting Style and Philosophy
Chansothy is known for his humble demeanor and strong commitment to fight with all his strength. In many of his interviews, he appears very humble, never expressing arrogance towards his opponents.
Despite his recent defeat by title holder Rin Davith on December 15, 2024, where he was knocked down in the middle of round 4 of the five-round bout while challenging Davith for the belt, Chansothy remains a promising figure in the Kun Khmer world.

CAUTION: The fight records of Kun Khmer Fighters have been inconsistent across TV stations. Therefore, instead of relying on the records displayed by individual broadcasters, I maintain an independent tally. I add one to the total after each new fight to ensure consistency. |
