Thun Menghong

Thun Menghong (Khmer: ធន់ ម៉េងហុង), born in 2002 in Kampong Cham Province, is a rising Kun Khmer fighter and one of the athletes whose fights many fans are eager to see. He competes in the 60 kilogram division, stands 1.68 meters tall, and fights in an orthodox stance.

He trains at the RCAF Boxing Gym under Master Thun Sophea, alongside fighters such as Bun Sothea, Thun Vanna, Thun Phanith, and Thun Sihong. In recent years, Menghong has continued to sharpen his technique and has taken on several international opponents. His performances have led fans to hope for future matchups with well-known domestic fighters like Pich Sambath and Hong Sovan Chansothy.

On 27 September 2025, Menghong won Hang Meas’ first-ever Extreme Silver Championship after knocking down another prominent Kun Khmer fighter in the second round. The win came with significant prize money and a large bonus, marking an important moment in his career.

Although he is known for earning many of his victories by TKO, his total number of bouts is still fairly limited. As he gains more experience, a clearer sense of his long-term position in the sport will emerge.
