Pich Atitep (ពេជ្យ អាទិទេព្យ), born in 2002 in Kampong Thom Province, is a rising star in the Kun Khmer fighting scene. Standing at 1.65 meters tall and weighing 57 kilograms, Atitep has quickly made a name for himself with his aggressive fighting style and resilience in the ring.

Training at the renowned Pich Sophann 8888 Kun Khmer Gym, Atitep has honed his skills under the guidance of his mentor, Pich Sophann, who has also trained notable fighters like Pich Sambath and Pich Bunseth. Known for his powerful punches, swift footwork, and relentless forward-fighting style, Atitep rarely backs down and is mentally strong, maintaining control even under pressure.

On 14 June 2025, Atitep was crowned the Camel Cement Champion after defeating the experienced Van Voeun in a three-round bout broadcast on Bayon TV. Atitep scored two knockdowns in the first round, forcing the referee to give Van Voeun two 8-counts.
