Roeugn Chetra

Roeung Chetra (Khmer: រឿង ចិត្រា) was born in 2004 in Kampong Speu Province, Cambodia. Standing at 1.63 meters, Chetra competes in the 57-kilogram weight class. He trains under the guidance of Roeugn Sophorn, an active Kun Khmer fighter and founder of Roeung Sophorn Kun Khmer gym.

Chetra’s introduction to Kun Khmer came after he ended his formal education at grade 9, with encouragement from his father, who has long been an admirer of the sport. However, his decision to pursue fighting was not initially supported by his mother, who took two years to come to terms with his choice. Despite his early success, Chetra’s journey has not been without challenges. Balancing the physical demands of training with the expectations of his family has shaped his resilience and determination.

As he continues to develop under the mentorship of Roeugn Sophorn, Chetra remains a promising figure in the world of Kun Khmer. It remains to be seen whether he can maintain his strong form in the years to come. It still a bit too early to evaluate him now.
