On December 16, 2024, the event "Kunlun Fight & Cicada FC World Fighting Elite Tournament" co-organized by Kunlun Fight and Cicada FC took place in the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh. This tournament brought together famous boxers, including the legendary Thai boxer, "Computer Warrior" Yodsanklai.

After just a few minutes, he launched a sudden high kick that hit Jiao Zhou in the head, causing his opponent to collapse and the referee to start counting. This situation made the entire audience burst into shock. Many spectators expected this to be an evenly matched match, but Yodsanklai's attack broke all expectations. However, this was just the beginning,” wrote QQ.

Tieu Chu stood up and continued the fight. Yodsanklai immediately approached and put pressure with close-range strikes. With extensive experience from Muay Thai matches, which are similar to Kun Khmer rules, Yodsanklai completely dominated the match.

“After a few punches, Yodsanklai took the opportunity to launch a series of punch and elbow combinations, knocking Xiao Chu down for the second time. Although Xiao Chu got up again, the fans all felt that the match would soon end. As expected, after Xiao Chu stood up to continue fighting, Yodsanklai continuously pressed and ended the match with an extremely powerful punch. Xiao Chu was completely knocked down and could not continue. The match ended at the 99th second of the first round with a knockout victory for Yodsanklai,” QQ emphasized.
