Biography and career

Aikpracha often uses his elbows in fighting techniques, especially 'Tatmala' (Poke back up) which he often makes in exit of clinch.. He currently holds the belt of Lumpinee and the belt of Thailand, two prestigious belts.

Eakpracha is of the same level as Kem Sitsongpeenong, Superball Lookjaomaesaivaree, Singmanee Sor Srisoopong or still the star Buakaw Por. Pramuk. He already has to face foreigners in Thailand, he beat the Iranian Vahid Rossani, French Antuan Siangboxing, a technician who lives in Thailand, and the Swedish Tobias Alexander, whom he beat by KO in the 1st round.[1]

He faced Yohan Lidon at Thai Fight: Lyon on September 19, 2012 in Lyon, France and won via decision after three rounds.[2][3]

He beat Jordan Watson on points in Bangkok on December 15, 2012.[4][5]

He TKO'd Frank Giorgi in the second round at Yokkao Extreme 2013 in Milan, Italy on January 26, 2013.[6][7][8][9]

Just a week later, Aikpracha fought in a 72.5 kg tournament at La Nuit des Titans in Tours, France on February 2, 2013. He faced Yury Bessmertny in the semi-finals and won rounds one and three but was floored in the second and so the match went to an extension round to decide the victor. Aikpracha won this round with ease and so marched into the final against Karim Ghajji. Despite being the favourite to win the tournament he was brutally knocked out by Ghajji in the first round with a high kick, straight left, knee and right hand combination.[10][11]

On May 6, 2013, Aikpracha fought to a draw with Enriko Kehl at MAX Muay Thai 1 in Surin, Thailand.

He soundly beat Warren Stevelmans to a decision win at MAX Muay Thai 2 in Pattaya, Thailand on June 29, 2013.[12]

He was set to rematch Jordan Watson at MAX Muay Thai 3 in Zhengzhou, China on August 10, 2013. However, he was replaced by Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong for undisclosed reasons.

He beat Tamoaki Makino by decision at MAX Muay Thai 4 in Sendai, Japan on October 6, 2013.[13][14][15][16]

He beat Tomoyuki Nishikawa by TKO due to a cut in round one at MAX Muay Thai 5: The Final Chapter in Khon Kaen, Thailand on December 10, 2013.[17][18]

He signed with Glory in late January 2014[19][20] and won by split decision in his promotional debut against Albert Kraus at Glory 14: Zagreb in Zagreb, Croatia on March 8, 2014.[21][22]

Aikpracha faced Youssef Boughanem at MAX Muay Thai 7 in Bangkok, Thailand on March 29, 2014.[23]
