Jeez, just watched today him vs Karate prodigy Tenshin Nasukawa in a kickboxing match. Maybe that's why he is away from boxing...

Became? Ruenroeng started as a Muay Thai fighter IIRC. Someone for sure correct me if I'm wrong, though.

That's new to me about him and probably for many who follow boxing.

I found an interview whom he says about his imprisonment, bout against Ioka and Shiming, between others information.

He's got a fight coming up though. Didn't he get stopped in the Olympics.

The fighter from Sri Racha, Chonburi Province, shouldered this early adversity and limited prospects to become a Muay Thai champion at the Lumpini Stadium (described as Bangkok’s Madison Square Garden) before succumbing to the demons of drug addiction.

Crushed in the grip of poverty and drugs, Ruenroeng was sentenced to fifteen years’ hard time in Thonburi prison following the desperate, armed robbery of a tourist in 2006. Thoughts of winning world title fights in front of his adoring countrymen and conquering a noted champion in Japan would have seemed pure fantasy for Ruenroeng at this point. Then came a glimmer of hope amid the darkness. Ruenroeng took advantage of an innovative boxing programme behind bars and excelled in his new discipline. His rise was sudden and meteoric. In 2007, the prisoner represented the Thai Corrections Department and won gold in his country’s national championships.

I heard it a long time ago, but he supposedly started as a Muay Thai fighter. That's his roots.

He is too old these days to have an impact on any of the martial arts or boxing.. His greatest victory will occur daily by not using drugs and hope he is successful in his life after combat sports.
