Prakong Boranrat (Thai: ประคอง โบราณรัตน์; born September 11, 1963), known professionally as Krongsak Sakkasem (Thai: ครองศักดิ์ ศักดิ์เกษม) is a Thai former professional Muay Thai fighter and kickboxer.

Biography and career

[edit]

At the age of 10 Krongsak was sent to Bangkok where he studied to become a monk. There he discovered Muay Thai through friends and finally joined the Sakksaem muay thai camp at the age of 12. Two years later he made his debut at Rajadamnern Stadium.[1]

During his career Krongsak became the number 1 ranked fighter at both Rajadamnern and Lumpinee stadiums but never was able to capture the titles. At the peak of his popularity his purses reached 100,000 baht.[2] He holds wins over notable champions of his time: Sagat Petchyindee, Jitti Kiatsuriya, Inseenoi Sor Thanikul, Raktae Muangsurin, Samart Prasarnmit and Changpuek Kiatsongrit.[3]

in 1985 Krongsak fought the legendary Dieselnoi Chor Thanasukarn. They would fight to a draw at Rajadamnern Stadium on August 8, a fight a lot of observers thought Krongsak should have won. Dieselnoi would beat him on points in the rematch on November 12 at Lumpinee Stadium. Both fights at 132 lbs.[4]

In 1988 Krongsak moved to France where he began teaching at the Lamy Gym in Paris. He kept competing both in Muay Thai and Kickboxing rules in Europe. He went undefeated in his second career, capturing world titles against notable European champions of his era such as Ivan Hippolyte, Rob Kaman, Stéphane Nikiéma and Guillaume Kerner. Krongsak retired from fighting in 1995 and turned to coaching full time, he also organized events in France cooperation with Thai promotors. He has been living in France for over 30 years.[5]
