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.
