Sor Rungvisai came from a very poor family in Sisaket Province in Thailand, and he had to move into Bangkok to escape from poverty when he was only 13 years old. When he arrived in Bangkok, he had to walk more than 60 miles by foot to apply for a job as a trash collector at a department store in order to feed himself. Life was so difficult for him that he sometimes had to eat leftovers he collected from the garbage just to survive.
The same man would defeat Roman Gonzalez, a future hall of famer who has been ranked no.1 in the pound for pound list universally for a long time. What is also remarkable is that Rungvisai fought 3 debutants prior to his win over Gonzales and when he started out his career in Boxing; after his first 5 fights he had a record of 1 win, 3 losses (2 by knock out) and 1 draw.
Now, he stands tall as the undisputed WBC super flyweight champion; let it be known, the sport of Boxing is a blessing and this man is an inspiration.
