			Sura Saenkham (born May 15, 1959) was one of the sport of boxing's greatest champions ever, and he is a member of the [[International Boxing Hall of Fame]].

	~~Sura~~ Saenkham ~~(born May 15, 1959)~~ was ~~one of~~ the sport of ~~boxing's greatest champions ever~~, and a ~~member of the [[International Boxing Hall of Fame]]~~.		A native of Petchaboon, Thailand, Saenkham was a world champion in the sport of kickboxing in the early 1980s. As his star rose in his native Thailand, he did as many of his famous countrymen do and adopted a "catchier" name. He has been known as Khaosai Galaxy ever since.

	~~A native of Petchaboon~~, ~~Thailand, Saenkham was~~ a ~~world champion in the sport of kickboxing in~~ the ~~early 1980s. As his star rose in his native~~ Thailand, he ~~did as many of his famous countrymen do, and adopted a "catchier" name~~. ~~He has been known as Khaosai~~ Galaxy ever ~~since~~.		In December 1980, he turned his attentions to orthodox boxing and promptly won his first six fights. That earned him a shot at the Thailand bantamweight (118-pound) title on July 29, 1981 against [[Sakda Saksuree]]. Little did Saksuree realize that he had made boxing history when he beat Galaxy on points over 10 rounds. It was the only fight Galaxy would ever lose.

	In December, 1980, he turned his attentions to orthodox boxing and promptly won his first six fights. That earned him a shot at the Thailand bantamweight (118-pound) title on July 29, 1981 against [[Sakda Saksuree]]. Little did Saksuree realize he had made boxing history when he beat Galaxy on points over 10 rounds that day. It was the only fight Galaxy would ever lose.		He finally claimed the Thai bantamweight title early in 1982, and by the summer of 1984, became [[WBA]] super flyweight (115-pound) world champion [[Jiro Watanabe\|Jiro Watanabe's]] mandatory challenger.

	He ~~won his next three fights, including a knockout of Saksuree, and~~ finally claimed the Thai bantamweight title early in 1982~~. In fact~~, ~~after taking his only loss, Galaxy won 15 consecutive fights~~ by ~~knockout and shot up~~ the ~~world rankings to become~~ super flyweight (115-pound) ~~[[WBA]]~~ world champion [[Jiro Watanabe\|Jiro Watanabe's]] mandatory challenger ~~by the summer of 1984~~.

	When Watanabe failed to defend his title against Galaxy, the WBA stripped him and matched Galaxy against undefeated [[Eusebio Espinal]] for the vacant title on November 21, 1984. Galaxy knocked him out in the sixth round, beginning the longest title reign in his division's history.		When Watanabe failed to defend his title against Galaxy, the WBA stripped him and matched Galaxy against undefeated [[Eusebio Espinal]] for the vacant title on November 21, 1984. Galaxy knocked him out in the sixth round, beginning the longest title reign in his division's history.

	Galaxy defended his WBA title an incredible 19 times over the next seven years, winning 16 ~~of his title fights~~ by ~~knockouts~~. In the ~~mid~~-1980s, when world heavyweight champion [[Mike Tyson]] was in his prime and scoring knockouts over everyone, boxing fans tagged Galaxy with ~~his~~ nickname "The Thai Tyson" for his own propensity for knockout wins.		Galaxy defended his WBA title an incredible 19 times over the next seven years, winning 16 by knockout. In the late-1980s, when world heavyweight champion [[Mike Tyson]] was in his prime and scoring knockouts over everyone, boxing fans tagged Galaxy with the nickname "The Thai Tyson" for his own propensity for knockout wins.

	Unfortunately, Galaxy fought only once outside the Orient, when he defended against unbeaten (and future WBA bantamweight titleholder) [[Israel Contreras]] in Cura?ao in 1986. He had two fights in Japan, both with the same man, one in Korea and one in Indonesia. The rest of his fights were in his native Thailand, where he often fought for purses in excess of $100,000 in front of huge crowds. That, and the fact that few top fighters were willing to challenge Galaxy anywhere, conspired to make him relatively unknown except to boxing aficionados.

	~~In 1988~~, ~~his twin brother~~, ~~fighting under the name~~ [[~~Khaokor Galaxy~~]], ~~captured~~ the ~~WBA bantamweight title~~, ~~making the Saenkham brothers the only twins~~ to ~~ever be world~~ boxing ~~champions~~.		Unfortunately, Galaxy fought only once outside the Orient, when he defended against unbeaten (and future WBA bantamweight titleholder) [[Israel Contreras]] in Willemstad, Netherlands Antilles in 1986. He had two fights in Japan, both against [[Kenji Matsumura]], one in Korea and one in Indonesia. The rest of his fights were in his native Thailand, where he often fought for purses in excess of $100,000 in front of huge crowds. That, and the fact that few top fighters were willing to challenge Galaxy anywhere, conspired to make him relatively unknown except to boxing aficionados.

	~~He fought for the last time on December 21~~, ~~1991 in Bangkok~~, ~~beating~~ [[~~Armando Castro~~]] ~~over 12 rounds. A few weeks later~~, ~~he announced his retirement with a record of 50 wins against~~ only ~~one defeat, and never attempted a comeback~~.		In 1988, his twin brother, fighting under the name [[Khaokor Galaxy]], captured the WBA bantamweight title, making the Saenkham brothers the only twins to ever become world boxing champions.

	He ~~was elected to~~ the ~~boxing hall of fame~~ in ~~1999~~ and ~~remains~~ a ~~national hero in his native Thailand~~.		He fought for the last time on December 21, 1991 in Bangkok, beating [[Armando Castro]] over 12 rounds. A few weeks later, he announced his retirement and never attempted a comeback.

	~~----~~		He was elected into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1999 and remains a national hero in his native Thailand.

	Bouts ~~recorded (IBHOF) ''et al~~.~~'' are erroneous, per Thai Editor~~:		== Disputed Bouts ==
	*8-~~20-1981 (or 8~~-29-1981~~) vs. Muangsurin~~		Some sources, such as [http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/galaxy.htm The Cyber Boxing Zone] and [http://www.boxing-records.com/palm/voirpalma.php?boxeur=galaxyka.html boxing-records.com], claim that Galaxy defeated [[Mornsakdi Muansurin]] on August 29, 1981 and [[Sakda Saksuree]] on September 10, 1981. Others, such as boxrec.com, claim that those fights never happened.
