Thun Sihong (Khmer: ធន់ ស៊ីហុង), born in 2005, is a rising Kun Khmer fighter from Prey Veng Province. Nicknamed “Runtah Chheung Pikhat”—loosely translated as “The Thunderous Killer Kick”—Sihong is widely recognized for his fighting style and endurance.
The Prey Veng-born fighter honed his craft under the guidance of Master Thun Sophea, a Kun Khmer legend, and trains alongside top fighters such as Lorn Panha, Thun Rithy, Bun Sothea, and Thun Vanna.
In November 2024, Sihong made history by becoming the fastest Cambodian fighter to win the 57kg title, knocking out Greek fighter Tahir Dervishi at the end of the first round. Dervishi was counted twice by the referee before the decisive knockout at a Kun Khmer event held in Greece.
A month later, in December 2024, Sihong was selected to compete at the MTGP Championship event in London, UK. However, his opponent, Jamie Williamson, withdrew due to health issues, and no substitute could be arranged. As a result, Sihong was automatically awarded the MTGP belt. Despite the outcome, Sihong expressed disappointment at not earning the title in the ring and announced his decision to place the belt up for contest within 3 to 6 months.
With a bright future ahead, Sihong’s talent, determination, and discipline position him as one of Cambodia’s most promising Kun Khmer fighters.
