Hometown: Bangkok, Thailand
Pro Boxer: Record

• Hometown: Bangkok, Thailand

• In a bout so far missing somehow from The Ring record book and BoxRec's updated bout records, the late former World Heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano, in his final ring appearance, refereed a 1969 flyweight title bout in Bangkok, Thailand, at Rajadamnerm Boxing Stadium between 12-4 Saknoi Sor Kosum and Raksuk Wayupuk. If Wayupuk's name is correct, no formal records exist of either him nor 'the bout'. Thai fighters sometimes fight under more than one name, and Wayupuk's correct name could be different. The bout did take place, though, and Rocky Marciano did referee it.

• Wikipedia cites it in its Rajadamnern Stadium entry. [[1]] Here is the Wikipedia entry: In 1969, Rocky Marciano attended Rajadamnern as a guest referee for the International Boxing title match between Raksak Wayupuk and Saknoi Sor Kosum. Since then the tradition is kept that the last fight of the night is always an international level fight.

• Here is Rocky Marciano's refereeing record from www.encyclopediasupreme.org. The last bout listed is 1966. The Thai bout is undocumented.
