New Power Group has announced the death of Prasertchai Por Prakitjim, a promising 15-year-old boxer from Sisaket province, who died of lung cancer. Prasertchai had an impressive fighting record, with victories including a knockout of Ploynoen Muang Samor in the fourth round at a Thai Alliance boxing event on July 14, 2025 (43 kg weight class), a points victory over Yod Classic Raisng Muay Thai on August 18, 2025 (45 kg), and a win against Auto Boom Dekecia on November 10, 2025 (101.1 pounds). After his lung cancer diagnosis, he began treatment in early 2025. New Power Group has now announced with deep sorrow the passing of the young boxer who was beloved by all, following his courageous battle with the disease.
In the ring, a boxer may experience both defeat and victory. But in real life, fighting until the final second is the greatest courage of all. Though his body has now left us, every drop of sweat, every fight he stepped into the ring for, and every memory he left in the Thai boxing world will remain forever in our hearts. Rest well. With deep mourning and respect.
